Don’t yawn when you read the word “finance” – these were some of the most innovative campaigns out there.
OK, so Fearless Girl was back on top again, which as one of the decade’s defining campaigns is fair enough. Maybe we’ll see her next year, too. But edging close to the top slot was the Thai film “Friendshit”, the most bonkers film about a banking app that you can possibly imagine. Everyone also chortled at Try from Norway’s “Silent Night” film, which took the “yikes, disaster” genre of insurance advertising to a whole new level. Over in Brazil, R/GA took the bull by the horns and redesigned the whole banking experience from the bottom up, making it digital, mobile and – guess what? – kind of fun. These days, ad agencies really do have the power to change lives.
