Breaking Down Doors for Entrepreneurs
Breaking the Glass Ceiling
Description
Inspired by its new raison d’être, BDC—the bank for Canadian entrepreneurs—intends to fulfill its role as a development bank even more ambitiously over the next few years. Creative agency Cossette was mandated with translating their mission into an elevated brand platform, a new tagline and a powerful campaign that marks a new chapter in how BDC contributes to the success of SMEs and the Canadian economy.
The integrated campaign revolves around the statement “We’re on it.” The ads give prominence to BDC’s ambitions, as well as to the story of entrepreneurs dealing with the major challenges of our times. The spots play on classic metaphors like “breaking the glass ceiling” or “breaking down doors” that many entrepreneurs must contend with and that BDC is invested in helping them with.
This professional campaign titled 'The bank of ambitions' was published in Canada in October, 2022. It was created for the brand: BDC, by ad agency: Cossette. This Film medium campaign is related to the Finance industry and contains 2 media assets. It was submitted over 1 year ago by Daphné Cousineau of Cossette.
