How can we
communicate
in Social media?
What is our
Brand positioning?
The
I
in Bank brand
We understand diverse
individual dreams
(much better than the big banks)
Independently of our background,
we feel normal
when we see ourselves
reflected in others.
To have a broader view
of what’s normal,
we’ll share stories that come
from the most diverse ‘social tribes’
(reflecting Bank brand’s flexibility)
Social tribe stories:
We understand & empower any
kind of dream
(much better than the big banks)
