| Bank Endorsements, Promotions and Celebrity Spokespersons |
The use of celebrity endorsement in the marketing of products and services related to the banking industry has proven to be a powerful sales strategy. This is due to the fact that celebrities have the unique ability to impart their influence and individual attributes upon a particular bank’s brand.
The success of an endorsement-based ad campaign for the banking industry is highly contingent upon proper selection of the celebrity spokesperson. More specifically, there must be a sensible link between the chosen celebrity and the brand for which that celebrity is selected to endorse. Because this individual lends a recognizable face and voice to a particular banking brand, they must prove to be a believable, respectable and trustworthy representative.
Celebrity endorsements often reinforce positive feelings about a bank’s brand. A successful celebrity spokesperson can also breakthrough to new audiences, present a clear sales / product message and work to build brand awareness.
Banks such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo, TD Waterhouse, Wachovia, SunTrust and others use celebrities for bank promotion ideas.
Some examples of successful celebrity bank endorsements and promotions include:
-
Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa for TD Bank
-
Johnny Bench for Fifth Third Bank
