HSBC’s Different Points Of View

Posted on September 10, 2008 - Filed Under Cool Ideas

I love HSBC’s current positioning that celebrates learning from global diversity. It solidifies their mantra and a truly global bank. I think the following commercial is simply great entertainment. In less than two minutes with less than three words of dialogue it tells an emotional story. I love it.

    that’s probably one of the best ads i’ve ever seen.

    Did anyone notice at :36 there’s a huge bear that attacks one of the officers?! Am I seeing this right?

    Lillian,

    Yeah, it’s a compelling story that drives home a simple but intelligent message. It’s cool when you see large companies embrace the diversity in opinions instead of just catering to the most popular.

    Nish,

    I think that’s a “protestor” dressed in a bear costume (not a real bear)
