Auckland - ASB has launched a new marketing campaign from Saatchi & Saatchi NZ that acknowledges the truth of how many people feel about managing their money, and aims to make it easier by highlighting a range of products, services and practical money tips.
Saatchi & Saatchi ECD Corey Chalmers said, “People don’t talk about banking. They talk about money, and usually their difficulties with it. ASB respectfully understands its role in people’s lives, and we wanted to reflect that in funny yet relatable conversations about money – so people can say ‘I’ve had that chat.’ We wanted people to feel they’d dropped in on a scene from a film, not a hard sell ad. They do resolve in product solutions, but it’s unobtrusive, useful and simple.”
Building on ASB’s reputation as New Zealand’s most social bank, a raft of useful and entertaining content has been created for online, with the unique feature of directing viewers to access further information-based content on ASB’s YouTube channel - saving tip videos providing practical advice on how to save, budget, reduce debt, invest, pay off a mortgage faster, plan for retirement, use money on the go, as well as practical information on how mortgages and credit cards work.
Joint ECD Guy Roberts said, “ASB knows where its customers are these days – online, watching YouTube, checking their LinkedIn connections, dual screening during the ad breaks or starting the day on Facebook. So that’s what our activity is primed for – yes we have TV executions but we have longer form versions exclusively for online, and we’re using YouTube as our primary channel. It’s the kind of thinking you’d expect from a progressive bank like ASB.”
“We understand our customers want us to be useful and to create experiences for them that fit into the slipstream of their daily routine, because the last thing you should have to worry about in your busy lives is managing your money,” says Anna Curzon, ASB’s General Manager of Marketing. “We’re committed to making banking with ASB an effortless experience so people can succeed on with whatever matters most to them.
“We wanted to recognise that conversations about money exist in the daily lives of many New Zealanders and wanted to reassure them that ‘it’s okay, here’s something that might help’. We have been really delighted with Saatchi along with our other partners Carat, TRA and Search Republic who have worked with us collaboratively to produce the next exciting phase of Succeed On.”
The campaign will include digital, social, TV, outdoor, radio and in branch. See all the new content here:

This follows ASB’s ‘Ambition’ initiative for business customers that launched last month, which saw all advertising invite businesses to join ASB on LinkedIn. The platform offers businesses access to an ongoing programme of content, with business insights, case studies, reports, local and global thought leadership. As part of this ongoing programme, ASB will also be hosting a series of exclusive events with global entrepreneur and business leader, Arianna Huffington in Auckland this Friday.
