Bank of Montreal

He to She

FCB Canada

SilverProducts and Services - Best in Finance and Services

Women now control 51% of all wealth and 40% are primary breadwinners for their household, so connecting with them is key for the Bank of Montreal. To reach and inspire women age 30 to 54, FCB made female leaders more visible. The campaign launched with a series of videos that highlighted male-dominated industries where a woman was excelling as a leader. They ran on Facebook and Instagram to increase the under-representation of female leadership into women’s feeds. The campaign then targeted Google Images, where every month there are approximately 34,000 Google searches around leadership. The agency also bought the 100 most common search terms related to leadership and replaced the male images that immediately came up with those of female leaders. The campaign drove a 40% increase in brand consideration among the target audience, doubling the goal of 20%.
