As a nation, we have a troubled relationship with money. Some 12.3 million UK adults have little or no confidence managing their money, while 80% have lost sleep over money worries. Armed with this insight we developed a new brand positioning for Barclays that enabled people to make money work for them. It was a campaign that ran across all media. From inspiration TV ads to smart digital and social campaigns and experiments. The campaign was one of the most successful campaigns Barclays had ever run. Following the campaign’s launch, prompted consideration for Barclays moved from fourth to first place, with consideration among 18- to 30-year-olds reaching an all-time high of 50% in Q3 2021. The bank out performed competitors to gain first position for overall share of new mortgages and joint top position among first time buyers. Crucially, brand media profit and media ROI hit record levels, climbing above competitors for first time mortgages and mortgages overall, helping Barclays claim the Marketing Week Award for Financial Services.
