The Campaign

To launch the new brand, we turned the younger generation’s power to build the future into a digital experience with a cross-platform campaign: Shift to a Better Future. The campaign consisted of two timelines, the present and a future made possible with the opportunities of the bank. At the heart of the campaign lies our interactive video where the users can shift between the timelines. Through this, we want to show how the future they dream of is possible with the right partner.

Creative Execution

Our campaign uses an interactive video to give its message in an innovative way. We used a special editing technique in the film and gave the control of the story to the users. Once the story begins, they can shift between the present and the future timelines by pressing the space button. The present shows the dreams of a student whereas the future shows how those dreams could come true. Each user can watch their own version of the story by changing the timelines as they wish.

As a result, the campaign performed excellently with 46 million impressions and reached more than 80% of the population. It generated over 2 million clicks to our landing page. We achieved huge traffic to the website with above-benchmark click through rates. After the campaign, 50% of the new users of the bank’s website was from the target group.

The target audience was the Saudi millennials. Alawwal Bank considers the youth as the leaders of the next generation. With a renewed focus in banking, the bank aims to support the Saudi youth in helping them discover their potential and making their dreams come true for the future.
