Marketing Collateral & Media

Emirates NBD created a variety of marketing collateral to promote the campaign. As well as roadside banners and print advertising, the bank commissioned two radio adverts to be broadcasted at key times in English and Arabic.  On top of this, a  how-to video was commissioned to provide customers with a maximum level of assistance in their  incentive redemption process.

A tutorial video is a great way to engage customers in the promotion. Videos are fun to watch and are a special appeal to mobile users: 90% of consumers watch videos on their mobile. And Smartphone users are growing! We also know from Google that smartphone users are twice as likely as TV viewers to feel a sense of  personal connection to a brand that shows video content.
