Creative Execution

An unconventional corporate campaign: Intesa Sanpaolo became the patron of a whole cinematographic project - hosted on a digital platform – based on the “Per Fiducia / Sharing Confidence” concept.

The realisation:
Three famous Italian directors created three inspiring short films with themes of trust and confidence.

A teaser phase warmed the audience: PR, Internet campaign, TV and social networks, movies backstage on the website and seeding activity.

The announcement phase: a 180” spot/trailer ran simultaneously on all the main TV channels and delivered people to the website for the launch of each movie. The media used to support the projects: PR, Internet, TV & cinema (the 180”spot/trailer ran on TV but also in cinemas), SEM and social networks. Every media has been very important in pushing people to the Per Fiducia / Sharing Confidence website.



Insights, Strategy & the Idea

The crisis impacted in a very negative way on Italian people’s life style and mood. Italians are discouraged and concerned about the future. Banks are perceived to be the main cause of this dramatic economic period. People are now asking banks to become more active in working on this situation and demonstrate their commitment.

The consumer insight:
“Banks should work on the rebirth of our country and invest on our society... A bank should help us regain confidence in the future,” says Paolo, 38 years-old, high school teacher.

The challenge:

As one of Italy's most important banks, Intesa Sanpaolo needed to win back people’s trust by showing a human side to their business.
