Axis.jpgAxis Bank, amongst the top three private sector banks in the country when it comes to offering solutions for business enterprises, has launched its new campaign on “holistic business banking solutions”.

Mobile penetration in India is at its best with the number of users expected to exceed 200 million users by 2016. This shift has augured well for banks and financial institutions, who are making every attempt to simplify the lives of consumers via mobile. Mobile technology for banking transactions has been gaining popularity in India. With the rapid growth in users and expansion in coverage of mobile phone networks, this platform has been recognized as an increasingly important medium to reach the end users.

The film, conceptualized and executed by Lowe Lintas Mumbai, revolves around the idea of holistic business banking solutions for businessmen who are ‘always-on’. The TVC shows businessmen as never disconnected from their business, irrespective of where they are and what they are doing. The mobility solutions offered by Axis Bank enable businesses to offer seamless payment solutions; thereby enhancing the overall operational efficiencies of the company.

Speaking on the launch of the campaign, Rajiv Anand, Group Executive – Retail Banking, Axis Bank said: “Digital is no longer an option or an alternative. It is a way of life these days. At Axis, we have invested extensively in expanding our digital suite of products and services for every consumer strata. And who better to appreciate the efficiencies of Digital than a businessman who rarely has the luxury of free time. With our range of mobile business banking solutions the “Always-on” businessman can transact seamlessly and effortlessly thus helping him progress.”

Axis 3.jpgArun Iyer, Chief Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas said, “We had to introduce the offering in a manner which is compelling while staying true to the brand idea of ‘Progress without Pause’. “Banking on the go” while relevant, sounds like a benefit which I have seen and heard before. To create an impact we needed to set it up in a context which is fresh and relevant, which is why, when we were working on the campaign we observed and recollected that even if a businessman is away from the business, his mind is not. So just like the businessmen who are always-on, ‘a business banking solution that is always-on’ is how we pitched it.”

Shantanu Sapre, Executive Director, Lowe Lintas said, “If you see today, business dynamics have changed drastically. A businessman can ill-afford to switch off from his business whatever be the occasion or location. Hence it’s becomes more important for banks to keep up with the pace and demands of these businessmen. Axis Bank already had its offering in place with a suite of business banking solutions. That’s why the idea of “An always-on bank for the always-on businessmen” fit perfectly for us to communicate the same.”
