'Key Auntie' for Alipay via Lowe China
Lowe China has premiered its latest work for Alipay, which has clocked up 11 million views in its first few days – a major achievement for a campaign for a financial services brand.
“Financial Services campaigns aren’t known, anywhere in the world, for their 'shareability’ or indeed, ‘likeability’" said Kitty Lun, Chairperson at Lowe China. “But not in this case. The excellent storytelling skills and local cultural insights of Lowe China’s CCO Norman Tan has seen ‘Key Auntie’ clock up over 11 million online views in its first few days. A phenomenon, even in a country as highly populated as China.”
‘Key Auntie’ tells a touching story of trust and integrity. It successfully communicates the values of Alipay, breaking away from the norms of Chinese advertising. Financial services advertisements are usually little more than blunt, practical price comparisons and service descriptions - ‘Key Auntie’ has changed the game in China. It takes a more gentle and skilled approach to the sector, leading with a beautifully told story that many people will recognise from their own lives.
