    DBS Bank India has unveiled its latest campaign that talks about safety and stars DBS’ brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar. The ad is conceptualised by Leo Burnett.

     

    Speaking about the campaign, Shoma Narayanan, Executive Director – Group Strategic Marketing & Communications at DBS Bank India, said: “The narrative of our new brand film hinges on safety, trust and resilience. The well-being, both physical and financial, of our customers, colleagues and partners has been our top priority through these challenging times. The film aligns with this and assures viewers that DBS is a partner they can rely on.”

     

    Added Neel Roy Cruz, Executive Creative Director, Leo Burnett, said, “From a creative point of view, this was one of the most challenging projects we have executed. How does one conceptualise and create a film when the whole world is confined to their homes? Just like our film narrative, we partnered with talented professionals and executed the film with all safety protocols. The very project itself stands testimony to the message we are trying to convey to our customers. Another interesting aspect of the campaign is that the idea for the film script came from one of Sachin Tendulkar’s video challenge, which went viral and was trending during the nationwide lockdown.”
