Perhaps it’s something to do with the numbers, but the finance sector attracted some of the most unexpected, cunning and complex ideas.
There’s no avoiding Fearless Girl, a bold statement that turned out to capture the zeitgeist, and a good lesson in what can be achieved if you push a client’s brief rather further than they required. All the smarts are on show in this category, from the stunning psychological thriller Beyond Money – confirming McCann’s creative roll – to the complex Sberbank “Neighbourhoods” case and of course The Next Rembrandt, which prefigured the big Artificial Intelligence debate. On the other hand, though, there was Car Curling.

2. 1|2|3 Smart Account / Beyond Money
| Titulo | Beyond Money |
| Brief | To connect a key generation to the brand and talk to them about a new product, Santander Bank decided to think and speak as millennials do. To achieve that, we decided to rethink the concept of wealth by questioning the true value of money – using a sci-fi thriller. The story allows the bank to engage young people with a very entertaining, philosophical idea about the balance between money and experiences – a balance which is a key feature of the product. -- Santander Bank decided to connect with millennials by questioning the true value of money via a sci-fi thriller. The "Black Mirror" style episode depicts a world in which one can sell one's most precious memories for cash. But when a woman literally removes too much of her memory bank, the consequences are terrifying. Following Spain’s historic economic crisis, people — primarily millennials — lost faith in banks. To promote a new type of account to a generation who just didn’t want to listen, Santander Bank produced an attention-grabbing, cinema-worthy short film. Void of any branding, the film simply — and quite beautifully — poses the question: what is worth more, experiences or money? Luckily with the bank’s new offer, clients won't have to choose. |

| História | One of the most fascinating advertising projects of recent years, The Next Rembrandt was designed to draw attention to the bank ING’s support for the arts. The result was the creation of a “new” Rembrandt painting thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence and 3D printing. Over 160,000 fragments from Rembrandt’s 346 paintings were fed into the computer, while facial recognition software was used to interpret the artist’s style. The final painting looked eerily convincing. Online, people could dive deeper into the creation process, while a video sparked a conversation about data and art. |

| História | Consumption and the side effects of our life style is eating away on our planet. The Baltic Sea is no exception with eutrophication and toxins killing the sea and seabed off bit by bit. So in one of the most developed parts of the world we have one of the most polluted seas, but we also the highest usage of digital and card transactions. Finland is the most “cash less” country of the world.The ambition was to engage all clients of the bank to save the Baltic Sea from further deteriorate and create both funding and understanding to contribute to resolve the situation.As most all consumption in the Nordics is enabled by a credit/debit card transaction we created the Aland Index showcasing the environmental impact of routine behaviour, enabling informed decisions.The Aland index, connected to the payment database, calculates the CO2 impact of every individual transaction per merchant category made with your credit card.By using the index the database compiles a monthly report, your climate profile, and presents it along with your credit card bill in your mobile phone app or on your Internet Bank. The calculation is based on the cost of carbon, as defined by the World Bank, pricing per kilogram, and converted to the corresponding cost in local currency.Your monthly digital climate report does not only calculate your individual cost (problem) but also presents suggestion of local or global projects to support as well as inspiration on how to live more sustainable to balance your impact (solution).The desired effect was to position the bank as Responsible, Ambitious and Personal by engaging all clients in saving the Baltic Sea. The secondary ambition was to inspire the whole industry by leading by example; enabling the competition to also engage their clients in doing the same; to build awareness and engage in fighting climate change or other environmental issues depending on geography.The Aland Index connects cause and effect on a personal level and presents both the problem and the solution where it gets the most attention on a regular basis. #alandindex #bankofaland #alandsbanken #d&adimpact #canneslions #innovation #creativedata #aland #bank #rbk #stockholm |

| História | With the advent of smartphones, sharing children’s growth in real-time has become popular in japan.yet most grandparents, the people that we want to share it with the most, remain disconnected as they are unable to use them. So, japanese smartphone carrier softbank thought to develop prototype products for sharing daily life without smartphones. We updated the items that seniors were familiar with.we created prototypes that maintained analog interfaces while enabling digital communication for sharing the grandchildren’s growth. We made a total of 6 prototype products and installed them in a real household. We created a perception change by showing that there are innovations where technology draws closer to each person’s life, rather than people keeping up with technology’s evolution. |
