Utilising existing upmarket aspirational brands we placed fake credit card slips and signed cheques onto full page existing ads. The credit card slips and signed cheques were made out to the brand being advertised.
Philosophie
This case aims to demonstrate how Standard Bank managed to regain the high-ground through differentiated communications.
Problème
There are four major banks in South Africa, all competing for the upwardly mobile Achiever market. Standard Bank was the first to introduce a bundled credit offering catering for this market. However, the other major banks followed suit by offering similar products sending the market into a parity lull.
Résultat
The campaign was not only groundbreaking but also managed to achieve phenomenal results not only creating a huge amount of talkability but also helped the sales increase up by 400%.
