The opportunity
As one of the “big four” banks in Australia, ANZ (@ANZ_AU) is committed to helping its customers get on top of their money. As a longtime sponsor of the Australian Open, ANZ wanted to use this popular event to launch its new savings proposition designed to help customers achieve their savings goals no matter their life stage. The campaign’s goal? Generate brand association and awareness of these new product proof points during a key sponsorship time period.
The strategy
ANZ, in collaboration with its media agency PHD, knew it had to drive its brand and sponsorship association while engaging consumers through innovative, personalised solutions that showcased how ANZ could help them get on top of their money.
ANZ worked with Twitter and its creative agency, TBWA, to craft an execution that would support its new savings proposition plus stand out and re-engage interested consumers. ANZ created a Twitter Direct Message chatbot experience to give customers and non-customers the chance to receive savings tips based on relevant savings goals. ANZ used a Multi-Website Card experience to direct people into the chatbot. Once there, people could select their own savings scenario and receive links to savings tips on ANZ’s website based on their answers. The campaign targeted adults 18-34 and 35-plus, as well as fans of #AusOpen content, and offered savings advice depending on the user’s age and priorities.
To promote its partnership with #AusOpen, ANZ opted for an In-Stream Video Sponsorship of the Australian Open on Wide World of Sports (@WWOS), a part of Channel Nine. Finally, ANZ boosted its messaging through Promoted Video, targeted to key audiences.
