Experian and Influencer Jimmy Darts Bring Financial Empowerment and Holiday Cheer to Consumers

The collaboration delivered financial resources and $75,000 donation to fight hunger

COSTA MESA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With a mission to bring Financial Power to All and spread kindness this holiday season, Experian® and Jimmy Darts teamed up to give consumers a meaningful boost, gifting three recipients $1,000 in cash and a free premium Experian membershipⁱ along with a donation to Feeding America® to help people facing hunger.

Jimmy Darts is a well-known social media personality, content creator, and philanthropist recognized for his heartwarming videos in which he surprises people in need with cash and life-changing acts of generosity. The Experian campaign aimed to reach consumers through Jimmy’s millions of followers across his social media platforms and highlight Experian as consumers’ “BFF” – Big Financial Friend – here to help them no matter where they are in their financial journeys.

“We hope this not only gives recipients a boost but also shows them and Jimmy’s followers they’re not alone in their financial journey,” said Dacy Yee, President of Experian Consumer Services. “Our goal is to be a financial co-pilot, here for consumers to lean on for support and resources that empower them to improve their financial health.”

One of the recipients approached by Darts in a store are a family from Riverside, CA who – when given the choice between keeping $500 from him or bless another shopper with the funds – opted to give the funds to someone else. Darts gave the money to another shopper and also awarded the family $1,000 from Experian.

As part of the campaign, Experian also pledged to donate $1 to Feeding America for every “like” on Jimmy’s videos, up to $75,000, and reached that goal. Feeding America invests 98% of all cash and non-cash donations directly into programs and services that help millions of people facing hunger.
