BNP Paribas: A single touch

BNP Paribas Film Ad - A single touch

This fantastic technology is no longer reserved for the heroes of spy films like James Bond and is now accessible to everyone.

This is the core creative idea behind this campaign, developed by Publicis Conseil for BNP Paribas to launch the first biometric bank card in France.

Since the summer of 2021, BNP Paribas has been the first bank in France to offer this technological innovation to its clients, which allows cardholders to pay for all purchases even above 50€, in a contactless and secure way, with a single touch of a fingerprint.

The campaign, borrowing all the codes of spy movies, shows the hero walking with ease in a hyper-secure facility, before being transported into real life, where he finishes a contactless payment of more than 50€, in front of a surprised cashier.

KIA: Inspiring Billboards

Instead of simply announcing Kia’s new brand philosophy, creative agency INNOCEAN Berlin decided to prove it. The agency teamed up with neuroscientists and the art collective, Marshmallow Laser Feast to create the world’s first outdoor campaign that’s scientifically designed to inspire you.
The agency took Kia’s new claim, ‘Movement that inspires’, in a literal sense and created a series of visuals that use real movements in nature which are scientifically proven to increase the alpha waves in the brain, making you calmer, more focused and more engaged.
To create these visuals, the team tracked the movements of different natural elements such as sand shifting, waves in the ocean and a dancer moving through the air. The fractal patterns created by these movements were used to develop neuroaesthetic animations. The animations were then all lab tested, proving the inspirational power of movement.
The neuroaesthetic animations were installed as digital OOHs all over the world, from Stockholm to Seoul. The study behind the campaign is ongoing with Dr Beatriz Calvo Merino at City University and Professor Richard Taylor at Oregon University hoping to continue their research into the impact of art and movement on the brain.
