SocietyOne, Australia's leading and
award-winning marketplace lender, has launched its first national TV
advertising campaign that highlights the gulf between the low savings
rates that the major banks offer and the much higher interest rates they
charge on personal loans to borrowers.
The commercial is airing on Channel 7 across the two-week
period of the network's Rio Olympics coverage. The spot underlines that
consumers do have the choice of a better deal and don't have to accept
the traditional "one-size fits all" approach to finance.

"This
was an extremely tight schedule but having come on board as
SocietyOne's new agency just a few weeks ago and when offered the
opportunity to air the company's first ever national TV campaign at the
start of Seven's Rio Games coverage we were certainly up for the
challenge," said Leif Stromnes, Head of Growth and Innovation, DDB Group
Australia.
Silvia Arrigoni, SocietyOne's Head of Brand and
Marketing, said: "We're ecstatic with final result. It typifies
everything what we are about: we're a disruptive force that makes the
customers looking for personal finance ask 'really?' when it comes to
the profits the big banks are making on personal loans.
"The ad
shows exactly what we want to achieve, and that's to show the everyday
Australian that alternative financing options are out there which also
offer a better deal."
