The Chaser’s guide to bank advertising

Hundreds of the industry’s brightest creatives and marketers – and a lonely Dr Mumbo – were at the AWARD Awards on Friday night, with Chaser duo Craig Reucassel and Andrew Hansen on hand to offer up their advice to the banks about honesty in advertising.

Reucassel noted it’s becoming even more difficult for marketers and agencies to convince people to give their money to banks than it is to get them to donate to charities, before Hansen added: “It’s a difficult thing this year in particular… No-one has yet managed to make an ad that actually cracks the banks’ key demographic – not yet anyway – of dead people who they’re still charging fees to“.
