NCA brings again Dominic West as Nationwide takes pot shot at banking rivals

Dominic West and his (already) long-suffering oppo are again for Nationwide and New Industrial Arts. There’s evidently a collection right here, will they change into Tesco’s Dottie and daughter for monetary providers?

Nationwide has a fairly good story as a mutual in a UK banking market dominated by clueless huge banks like Nat West and Barclays, whose thought of customer support is to make life as troublesome as doable. As huge banking ‘shareholder worth’ panjandrum West exemplifies right here.

Nationwide’s Richard Warren says: “We’re persevering with our marketing campaign to place Nationwide as a contemporary and assured challenger to the large banks. We don’t have shareholders, so we are able to focus completely on our clients and doing what’s proper for them. Our SavingsWatch service (telling clients about higher offers) isn’t one thing new – it’s one thing we’ve been doing for our clients for years as a result of it’s the best factor to do.”

Extra element on this than the primary one, so slows it down a bit. Lifted by a superb (if predictable) joke on the finish. Ought to annoy rival suppliers – if ever they seen what anyone else thinks. Sadly they don’t appear to.*

MAA inventive scale: 7.5.
