McCann has gone the populist route for TSB, introducing a cuddly pink elephant because the approachable face of the financial institution.
Tiny the elephant’s job is to reassure everybody that monetary conversations don’t need to be scary – not in case you discuss to TSB’s Cash Confidence Consultants, anyway. The main focus is on maximising what you will have, relatively than slicing again.
Emma Springham, CMO at TSB mentioned, “We got down to guarantee individuals know they will flip to us for assist if they’ve cash worries, to embrace the elephant within the room that for therefore many impacts each side of their lives together with psychological well being. In a aggressive market we briefed McCann to be courageous and daring, and to create one thing likeable with longevity.”
Richard Morgan and Christopher McKee, artistic administrators at McCann London, mentioned, “As a nation we discover it notoriously tough to speak about our dosh. Tiny is the most effective buddy you didn’t know you wanted, inspiring confidence within the face of cost-of-living adversity. A reminder that when you face your fears, they may usually really feel much less daunting and slightly simpler to handle. Like a tiny elephant.”
McCann London’s earlier marketing campaign starring David Schwimmer wasn’t very memorable – no less than this new marketing campaign will pack a punch within the advert breaks.
However the “elephant within the room” metaphor is fairly apparent, and the pink elephant brings to thoughts Dumbo’s drunken hallucinations after by accident consuming a barrel of alcohol within the Disney film. We’ve but to see whether or not Tiny can have the endurance of the Meerkat or Duracell’s pink bunny.
