Tesco Bank translates finance into the language of bagels

Tesco Bank. A bank that thinks like a supermarket? That's right. The one where every little helps.

We've been working with our lovely clients based in Scotland on our first campaign with them, which launched on Wednesday. 

Here we dramatise the very fact that Tesco Bank applies supermarket values to financial services. The print ads and TV spot use buns and bagels – all, of course, available at Tesco stores – to talk about Tesco Bank's Clubcard Credit Card offer. 

As you'll see from the work, there are lots of bagels. In fact, we know pretty much everything there is to know about the holey breaded roll. But the humble bun serves as the perfect tool to talk about Tesco Bank's values in what we think is an engaging way. 

Here is the print.

Honda celebrates its engineering ‘hands’

Nearly a decade ago the W+K London office opened its arms wide and welcomed Honda in for a big hug. Our goal was to humanise the brand and to make people connect emotionally with their global 'Power of Dreams' strapline.

It seems fitting that 10 years on we have launched a brand film that captures the company's 65 years of warm engineering in 2 tiny minutes.

We have simply called the film 'Hands' as a testament to the tinkering nature of the Honda R+D engineers whose curious spirit (or hands) has made Honda the largest engineering company in the world.

Last week the content launched as idents sponsoring the latest series of Channel 4 documentaries. The longer form film featured below is now flying round the internet.
