"Heritage is a member owned bank, and this campaign is a true reflection of that."
Heritage Bank has released a brand campaign via Cummins&Partners, showcasing its ‘People first’ philosophy featuring real customers.
The 'Bank You Very Much' brand platform first launched in 2019 ad leans into Heritage’s 150-year-old philosophy by positioning Heritage as ‘the bank you can thank.’
The challenge this year was to provide a brand refresh that gives new life to this platform and further positions Heritage as a Bank with a conscience that puts people and their communities first.
As a customer owned bank, Heritage decided that the best way to demonstrate its ‘People first’ strategy was to feature real Heritage staff and members, front and centre of the campaign, celebrating the true stories of how the bank helped them achieve their ‘firsts’.
These stories range from a couple who opened Heritage Savings Accounts for each of their 15 great-grandchildren, to Heritage partnering with the Crows Nest community to establish a true community branch that supports the locals.
Amanda Temperly, general manager marketing, Heritage Bank, said: “As a mutual bank, Heritage is proud to support our members’ journeys and dreams – whatever they may look like. For this campaign, we wanted to feature genuine Heritage members, and share some of their wonderful stories. Cummins&Partners really brought this to life by taking an authentic and considered approach to this brief.
"Heritage is a member owned bank, and this campaign is a true reflection of that. This campaign is a celebration of our members, and our people first philosophy.”
Sophie Lander, managing director, Cummins&Partners: “We have worked closely with Heritage over the last three years to develop and evolve the hugely successful Bank You Very Much platform. We are excited to enter the next chapter of this campaign that heroes real customer stories demonstrating how Heritage supports both its members and their local communities.”
