Describe the brief/objective of the direct campaign.

It’s not easy to find a bank that is transparent and fair in its accounting.

In this spirit the agency was asked to create a Direct Mail, which
unveils questionable methods in the banking sector in an ironic and
entertaining way.



Explain why the creative execution was relevant to the product or service.

Many banks keep their clients in the dark about their own allowances.
They hide charges and commissions in the fine print or do not
repay so-called kickbacks.

The quirin bank is different.

That’s why the hide-and-seek idea is highly relevant to the product.



Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective with reference to the projected response rates and desired outcome.

To explain common tricks used by banks on their clients, the agency created a booklet containing “the most popular hide-and-seek games in private banking”, which itself was hidden in the false bottom of the mail package.



Describe the results in as much detail as possible with particular reference to the RESPONSE of the target audience including deliverability statistics, response rates, click throughs, sales cost per response, relationships built and overall return on investment.

The response was amazing. 26% of the recipients - Private investors - called the hotline and 39% of them arranged a
advisory interview.
