The Most Creative Campaigns, Brands
and Agencies in Finance

 
A SECTOR OFTEN VIEWED AS COLD AND DISTANT SHOWS ITS MORE CUSTOMER-FRIENDLY SIDE VIA INNOVATIVE SERVICES AND TOOLS.

It isn’t always easy for banks to seem approachable, but the top campaigns this year leaned in to the customer experience. Starting with the brave and laudable “True Name”, from Mastercard and McCann New York, which allowed transgender and non-binary people to display their chosen name on their cards. The campaign appears here twice – both as a film and a broader campaign that saw the policy adopted by several banks. Mastercard also crops up in fifth place with a very on-brand promotion linked to a solar eclipse. Elsewhere, time travel was trending. For Sberkassa in Russia, a visitor from 1973 discovered the advantages of digital banking. And an ad for the documentary The Last Dance, about Michael Jordan, used Deep Fake technology to whisk a famous TV sports presenter back to the 90s.

BriefWe created True Name: the first payment product where people could feature their chosen name on their card.Mastercard went to banks with support from the LGBTQIA+ community. There was some interest, but no banks would commit. But we believed in the idea, so put our reputation on the line – and announced True Name anyway.This was a bold and unprecedented challenge to the market: we were announcing a credit card that we couldn’t make without a bank – to convince banks that it had to be made.Mastercard launched the idea for True Name through a 360 campaign at World Pride 2019 in NYC. This included creating panels where Trans and Nonbinary advocates spoke on the impact True Name could make to people’s everyday lives, PR placements, advertisements during the Pride Parade broadcast, and social and OOH placements.

Проблема For many in the LGBTQIA+ community, the name on their credit, debit or prepaid card does not reflect their true identity, causing painful daily reminders of a conflict between their true name and the name on their card. In 2019, we worked to ease this pain point by creating True Name, a first of its kind feature that makes secure payments truly safe for all.

История In the slowest retail period in Dubai (right after the festive shopping season), on 26 December, Mastercard built a unique data-driven promotion, in partnership the leading homegrown e-commerce platform.Tied to a rare eclipse that had been 172 years in the making, we created a priceless shopping experience.Astronomical Sales helped Mastercard win attention, share-of-wallet and grow users.At the same time, it built trust by trial in a predominantly cash-on-delivery shopping culture:Results:15 times higher than usual in the banner click through rate on Noon.com’s homepage.18,282 new registered Mastercard users on noon.com in one day vs. the average benchmark of less than 1,000 a day.8,000+ active users during the eclipse period vs. the average of less than 200 for the same duration on the best day.All products promoted were sold out during the eclipse – a record for e-commerce in the UAE.
Проблема Driving acquisitions and usage for Mastercard during UAE's festive and shopping season.

История Traditionally, banks require photo identification and proof of address to open an account. But these are documents that many homeless people may no longer have. So, the way in which society’s financial system has been designed means that once you’ve fallen out of it, it’s incredibly hard to find your way back in.At HSBC UK branches, people without a fixed address can now open a bank account using a participating charity’s address as their proof of identity (as long as they are accompanied by a charity caseworker that is). This partnership allows the homeless to reconnect with society and helps break the cycle of financial exclusion.To raise awareness of the service we took to the streets using data to pinpoint locations with the highest levels of homelessness that were also in close proximity to an HSBC UK branch that offered the service.

BriefNovember 11th is Remembrance Day, when Canada honours its veterans. This tradition is fading among younger Canadians, many of whom are only connected to our military history through video games like Call of Duty. Home Equity Bank partnered with the Royal Canadian Legion to assemble a team of WWII veterans, all over 90 years of age. Banding together under the moniker Team Legion, they joined popular games based on WWII – not to play, but to tell their true stories to younger generations. They appeared live on gaming platforms like Twitch alongside popular video game streamers who joined them for an in-game moment of silence, listened to their stories and honoured their service.

История To keep Remembrance Day relevant for younger generations, Home Equity Bank partnered with The Royal Canadian Legion to recruit four veterans (all over 90 years of age) to form the world’s oldest E-Sports team; “Team Legion”. Video game influencers on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook Live joined them on virtual battlefields not to play, but to lay down their controllers, hear their stories and honor their service. The world’s oldest E-Sports team reminded the young generation that war is not a game.

философия Mr Humfreez by ANZ Bank is a household device that shows New Zealanders if their home is too damp or too cold. Instead of a plastic gadget, it’s a biodegradable device that doesn't require a power source. Mr Humfreez is scientifically calibrated to WHO guidelines for a healthy home. His hygroscopic horns are programmed to uncurl when humidity rises above 65%. Bespoke thermochromic ink on his face turns blue when the temperature dips below 18°C.
