Saatchi’s new 60sec TVC for ASB promotes its GetWise initiative, which aims to educate youngsters on how to be smarter with money.
The kids are cute – but the script is in adult language, and the message comes across as more attuned to an adult world. Cute kids worked brilliantly for Mitre 10 – but they were better actors and they were talking directly to adults.
The bank is much more successful with a series of six videos – these also talk to parents, but they impart useful financial info for kids, in a format that lends itself to a family viewing and discussion.
On this page, we’re running the TVC and one of the videos (you can see all six at www.asb.co.nz/getwise.)
