Strategy • The banking sector in Hong Kong is highly competitive and saturated with financial products and services that are often difficult to differentiate. To challenge traditional perceptions of banks and banking, DBS Hong Kong sought to spark joyful experiences that connect businesses and communities, and illuminate the lives of people through creativity and innovation. Media relations was at the heart of the PR strategy to connect and engage with customers, and to reinforce our brand and positioning. • #MySparkHK • #MySparkHK was conceived and developed to highlight the bank’s growing leadership position and our purposeful role in the communities we operate in. Our media relations efforts focused on differentiating DBS in the market and on how the bank would connect on an emotional level. With #MySparkHK, we partnered with London-based artist and illustrator Sean Freeman to create a giant colourful set of one-of-a-kind “Spark & Joyful” alphabet letter cushions. Sean Freeman employed numerous innovative design techniques, including high-speed photography, geometric patterns and special textures, to create the letters. • From pre- to post-event, traditional and social media, as well as influential key opinion leaders, were leveraged to encourage the public to express and share their creativity via

Mandatory information: Core strategy, campaign concept and creative rationale. Strategy their own “Spark” words, like LOVE, JOY and HAPPY, and the #MySparkHK hashtag. Media coverage was also used topromote #MySparkHK via a series of Spark story videos highlighting the personal spark and passions of local luminaries and celebrities. Sparks mini-series “Live more, bank less” was a region-wide initiative to convey how DBS’ deep understanding of the world our customers live in, drives the design of our products, services and initiatives to enable our customers to do more of what they want – live. In the first half of 2016, Sparks, a three-episode mini-series inspired by a true SME customer story, was rolled out. As Sparks embodies our larger purpose of going beyond banking to bring about customer experiences and outcomes that set us apart, we believed a series about what we do can be engaging, communicate what DBS stands for in a far richer way and build a deeper connection with our audience. A series of videos documenting six key opinion leaders and their individual philosophies and passions (live simple, live kind, live connected, etc.) was leveraged to further deepen the media engagement. A soft-sell approach was adopted in media relations to promote Sparks and the bank’s products and services, and to reinforce DBS Hong Kong’s positioning and create synergies with our business.
