The new Mortgage campaign for Pibank, was developed throughout the summer, taking advantage of the sports news surroundin the football market.

The football summer market involves the players’ drafts, which always creates a buzz among the fans. Taking advantage of this moment of social conversation, Pibank, the bank of ‘easier is better’, wanted to help the presidents of football clubs convince the great stars of this sport to sign up with their teams. To do this, we launched an advertising campaign to offer the Pibank Mortgage to the great stars of the football world who come to our country.

 

The campaign includes phrases such as “Presi, if what you’re offering isn’t enough add a house. We’ll handle the mortgage” or “Presi, if the Brazilian returns to Barcelona we’ll offer a mortgage for him and his crew”, or “Presi, remember that in Manchester the fax always comes late. Offer our mortgage now and fix it ”. Creativity was always mixed with the news of each day, playing with the news to connect with football fans, using humor to generate notoriety among those looking for a home and need a mortgage.

The action was developed in sports press, internet and social networks, wherein three videos starring former player Gaizka Mendieta were uploaded, addressing different players to convince them to come to Spain to play. In addition, the bank launched buses that traveled the surrounding areas to the stadiums with messages that said, “Presi, you have to choose Madrid and not Turin, leave your home mortgage to us” or “Presi, you have 13 reasons for the Frenchman to move to Madrid, consider our mortgage another reason”.

The results were excellent. According to the marketing department of Pibank, the earned media by the campaign had a 339% increase, web visits during the campaign period have experienced an increase of 65%, and unique users, an increase of 73% .
