The brief

Big, bigger, RBS. As one of the world's leading banks, the Royal Bank of Scotland boasts a world of services - loans, credit cards plus sponsorship in markets such as Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy and France. With such a product array it is vital to find the right tone every time, everywhere.

The challenge

In 2005 RBS wanted to launch Germany's first 0% credit card. No big deal? It can be when you have to make it work in a market that is fairly conservative and where the concept of revolving credit is virtually unknown.

The outcome

Think local. For a start, with the in-depth market insight of our native copywriters we found that Germans do borrow on their overdrafts, but not so much on their credit cards. Then we came up with a campaign promoting 0% borrowing as opposed to much more expensive overdraft borrowing. Good bye overdraft, hello X-ite!

The result, from adapting a 6 nation's rugby poster to originating a credit card campaign - we help RBS to talk with conviction in their market.
