Santander: Prepare to be Amazed by Engine
- Location:
The latest instalment of Engine Creative’s Santander campaign features Ant and Dec avatars running riot in a virtual version of the 'Bank of Antandec'.
TV presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly bring humour and chaos to the new campaign in which they switch between virtual reality and their in-person roles as chief execs of their own bank determined to take ‘digital’ to the next level.
Ant and Dec don their VR headsets and play around in 'the world’s first virtual bank' – creating avatars and getting confused between digital and real-life. Meanwhile, Santander is concentrating on keeping the digital stuff simple by benefiting real customers with the launch of the new My Money Manager tool in its Mobile Banking app.
The innovative feature spots your spending habits and helps you to exercise greater financial control – in line with Santander’s ambition to “help people get close to their money”.
