Caja Madrid, the most important Savings Bank in Spain, launched a new deposit almost identical to previous competitor's products, but with very competitive conditions. Objectives: SALES: Acquire 2.000M€ from other banks and 10.000 new clients. Get current clients with investments in other banks to concentrate them in Caja Madrid. BRAND: Reinforce the brand awareness of Caja Madrid, positioning it as the market's best offer of financial products. A fact supported by this deposit. The investigation demonstrated that an important downside in changing banks is the long-term relationship buit with the branch manager. Caja Madrid's deposit is so good you will inevitably leave your bank and they don't want you to lose a friend. So they named the deposit "Sense and Sensibility" and gave out a Self-Help Guide "CHANGE BANKS WITHOUT LOSING A FRIEND", that came with a Goodbye postcard for your old bank with a musical chip containing an adaptation of a hit of the 80s "Forget me and go away". They also created a web, virals with personalized videoclips ("Pimpinela" and "Teddy Bear"), WAP portal, BIDI codes, TV and Print to generate traffic to the banks'offices and the web.
