Born to care

Challenge:

Fuel an integrated campaign with a brand story that brings to life the idea that Truist teammates deeply care about their clients and communities.

What does it look like when you are “born to care”?

Solution:

A brand film about Lianne Wang, a Truist teammate that volunteered to rappel off of a 14-story building to raise money for homelessness, despite a great fear of heights. The story sought to answer the question: what would compel someone to do this for their community?

The film, photography and storylines were versioned and published across dozens of channels and audiences: internal and external, paid and organic.

Three version were cut: 2min, 4min and 8min. Audience testing revealed all three were well received with the target audience, but the 4min brought the brand message to life the best.

The story started in social

We concepted :15 and :30 versions that teased the story, in 9×16, 1×1 and 16×9 orientations.
