Barclays International  Banking

With 325 years of global expertise, Barclays has accrued insight in every corner of the world. But, as the bank opened its international branch, it needed help turning this global reach into perspectives capable of pointing some extremely diverse audiences in the right direction.

I led the creative and strategic development of the brand platform, before establishing the launch campaign from a verbal perspective. Ensuring that, across both messaging and tone, that as far as Barclays International Banking clients go — be it moving abroad, expanding across borders, or finally settling down — they know they have access to the right support, wherever they end up.

Outward Thinkers have the confidence, the knowledge, and the drive to live and work globally, but they don’t want the hassle that can come with operating internationally.

They need someone to remove the obstacles and point them in the right direction. A bank that encourages and complements their outward perspective.

Barclays uses its international network to offer just this — pushing clients towards fresh opportunities with constant consideration for their situation. Providing familiar support in unfamiliar territory.

Life without limits

Having established the brand platform, Barclays needed a launch campaign that could boost awareness and increase acquisition. An idea capable of reassuring its three diverse audiences that the International Bank was the financial partner they needed, wherever they ended up.

Building on the brand's foundation of support, the campaign focuses on wisdom that will help people enjoy the benefits of an international life rather than the practicality of achieving it. Because with Barclays looking after their finances, it leaves clients to enjoy what they travel for, the second they step off the plane.
