BANKING ON THE GAME OF LIFE
-Challenge and Objectives: Hang Seng Bank aimed to captivate Hong Kong's Gen Z by transforming the conventional banking model into an engaging, lifestyle-integrated experience. The objective is to reposition Hang Seng’s Preferred Banking as a forward-thinking ally for a digitally native generation, fostering financial literacy and equipping them with effective financial management tools.

Idea: Introducing the idea that changes it all — Banking on the Game of Life.
A vibrant campaign that marries finance with fun, tailoring the banking experience to Gen Z's adventurous spirit. Life's financial journey is reimagined as a playful game where local icon Gareth.T becomes a guide in a universe that's all about educational discovery. He introduces players to “14 Meticulously-Crafted Characters”, each representing a vital banking service or skill, from mastering digital banking to strategic saving. This creative narrative educates on Hang Seng's offerings, elevating financial literacy into an enthralling journey and positioning Hang Seng as the banking ally for the new era.

1-Immersive Video Experiences
We unveiled three compelling videos that transported Gen Z into a banking adventure. These videos showcased the empowerment that comes with Hang Seng's digital tools and companionship with the 14 characters.

2-Interactive Financial Quests
A city-wide scavenger hunt was launched, prompting Gen Z to seek out the 14 allies integrated into their urban landscape. By scanning QR codes, participants could gain financial knowledge and the chance to win prizes, embedding financial literacy into the fabric of their lives.

3-Financial Wisdom at Your Fingertips
HARO, the bank's cutting-edge, rule-based algorithm app, now offers personalized financial advice through WhatsApp. It caters to individual life goals and scenarios, providing bespoke tips and motivation to help users achieve their financial dreams.
The campaign maximized reach through a diverse array of platforms, turning each customer interaction into a step forward in their financial literacy journey.

Up Your Game: Hang Seng Turns Banking into an Empowering Game of Life!
Banking is no longer boring; it's about transforming banking into a gamified adventure. Every interaction is a leap towards actualizing users' dreams and financial freedom.
