The bank partnered with Brandtative to pivot its brand strategy towards emotional engagement. The first step involved comprehensive market research to understand the emotional drivers and barriers for customers in financial decision-making. Utilizing advanced behavioral science techniques, Brandtative mapped out key emotional territories that were both relevant to the bank's brand and crucial to the customer's experience.

The strategy focused on three core emotions: security, empowerment, and belonging. Workshops were conducted across all levels of the bank to embed these emotions into the brand’s DNA. Brandtative helped develop new communication guidelines that articulated these emotions, ensuring consistency across all channels.

The rebranding initiative led to a measurable increase in customer satisfaction and loyalty rates, as reflected in customer surveys and net promoter scores. The bank reported a 30% increase in new customer acquisitions within the first six months following the campaign launch. Most importantly, the emotional branding strategy helped the bank stand out in a saturated market, fostering a deeper connection with existing and potential customers.

This new, emotionally coherent brand positioning unified everyone from the CEO to bank tellers, centering on a set of emotions integral to every customer interaction. These emotions were integrated into business plans, brand trackers, and performance evaluations, fostering a united effort to maintain brand consistency.
