There are always things that you can control.
The old ways of growing wealth are becoming further and further out of reach. So how does a generation without the ability to easily break into the world’s most challenging property market find a way to get ahead?
Stake,an investing platform, offers a new way forward, launched in a cinematic film by Collider’s rising star Dylan Duclos.
Shot on a vast set designed to represent a maze of confusion and dead ends, the film launches Stake’s new brand platform ‘Onwards.’
“‘Onwards’ is bigger than any one product or service. It’s a mindset, one that we see ambitious Australians embracing when faced with the challenging economic environment we’re living in. It says ‘Despite there being genuine difficulties in trying to get ahead these days, there’s still things I can do. Choices I can make.’ And Stake is here to inspire people to make those choices and help put them into action.” said James Healey, marketing lead at Stake.
“Unaffordable housing, spiraling inflation and a cost-of-living crisis have combined to make it harder than ever before for people to get ahead," 72andSunny president Ross Berthinussen said,.
"The blueprint for progressing in life that worked in the past no longer works today. Stake empowers ambitious people who refuse to accept this stagnation to take control with a range of easy-to-use ways to manage their wealth. With Stake they can be confident of moving ‘Onwards’”.
This platform was conceived to inform not just communications but also the broader customer experience and internal culture at Stake.
“The idea that despite any roadblocks standing in your way, there are always things that you can control is inspiring. It hands power back to the individual and allows them to own their path forward. That’s a relevant ideology in all aspects of life.” said Bryan Wilmot, CMO r at Stake.
72andSunny Creative Lead Andy Flemming said this was one of those jobs where everything just came together.
"We wanted to capture the corporate claustrophobia of ‘Severance’ and Dylan did just that. The one-line idea was ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’ and he really delivered.”
The campaign launched on Sunday during the first Australia vs India cricket test. “We’re aiming to reach more Australian’s that are looking for ways to build their wealth,” said Cameron Roberts, Director at Fourteen10 which led the media strategy to amplify the campaign.
“With 10% of Australians tuning into Sunday’s match, building out a plan that reflects the scale of the platform idea is an exciting next step in Stake’s mission”.
