DBS - Regional Integrated Campaign

"We need banking, but we don't really need banks anymore." - Bill Gates.
 
The Development Bank of Singapore.
Most kids in my time grew up with this bank.
 
We saw it as a steadfast institution.
Reliable. Safe. Very "Singapore".
But we never really thought much beyond it.
 
So with DBS as a client, our brief was bold.
It was a regional re-branding campaign.
 
How can we make banking more human and joyful?
 
Our idea was embodied most aptly, by a spark.
Where everyone was encouraged to pursue what they truly believed in.
And together with the support of DBS, Let's Spark Something.

We kicked off the campaign with our Spark manifesto.
It also served as a launch pad for our "Let's Spark Something" digital activation.

Microsite
 
We created a microsite to house the entire ecosystem of Sparks. From hosting a simple user-friendly device allowing users to customise their Spark to presenting a gallery of ignited Spark videos, this master platform was the springboard of sparks.

A dazzling amount of Sparks were ignited.

We pushed boundaries and proposed new visual styles, breathing new life into the branding without straying too ridiculously far from its already well-established identity.

Social content
 
Here's one of the ignited Sparks.
 
In this case, it was: I want to spark something LASTING with THE ARTS for MY FAMILY.

Behind the scenes
 
Sharing some of the user-journey and UI/UX wireframes we did up during the early stages.
 
 
Everybody's got a spark.
What's yours?
