how the campaign was executed

With mCanvas' interactive rich media ad format, leveraging its multimedia capabilities.
The ad format incorporated dynamic graphics, relevant text, and captivating animations to communicate the brand's messaging effectively.

To promote the international banking services offered by the brand, the ad employed an interactive swiping functionality that allowed users to explore and engage with the content seamlessly.

execution

To effectively reach the NRI audience for the campaign, mCanvas utilized language targeting to focus on Hindi-speaking users in the UAE and Malaysia.
Third-party audience segments from DMP providers were also employed during campaign setup, and ads were displayed on Indian and regional websites with high NRI traffic.
The interstitial ad began with a revolving globe and the message, "explore banking that cares for you, beyond boundaries." Users were prompted to "TAP TO CONTINUE" to initiate the interactive experience.
Upon tapping, an expandable ad instructed users to "SWIPE RIGHT" to reveal a banking partner that "flies beyond borders with you." As users swiped, an animated plane flew across the globe and landed on location pins, showcasing different features of NRI banking services provided by the brand.
Each location pin displayed a pop-up with visuals and key features of the banking services. Users could continue exploring by swiping right and landing on other pins, each highlighting different features.
After three such pop-ups, the user was presented with a call-to-action to "APPLY NOW" and learn more about the banking beyond borders services on the brand's webpage. By leveraging engaging visuals, animations, and interactivity, the campaign successfully promoted the brand's NRI banking services to the target audience in a compelling and memorable way.

testimonial

Dipti Kanitkar

Associate Director, Digital Brand & Marketing, Standard Chartered Bank,(India)

"We wanted to inform our NRI users to choose Standard Chartered Bank for all their banking needs, no matter where they are. The mobile ad helped introduce them to the key features of the NRI banking segment through a truly beyond border experience. With mCanvas, we were able to create something fun and unique, and achieve 2 times the engagement rate decided, which is a testament to the campaign's incredible success."

Akshay Mohini Nandoskar

Associate Director - APAC & ME, mCanvas

"The main challenge we faced was to build an informative learning experience that engaged users effortlessly. We needed an innovative way that caught the user's eye and intrigued them to engage with the ad. To overcome this challenge, we strategized on using the swipe functionality, a simple sensor to create an immersive & interactive experience, that focused on all the key elements and messaging of the SCB brand."
