The campaign will run for one and a half months, with the new TVC being supported by print ads, online banner ads, as well as a presence on Facebook and YouTube.

The three celebrities are thrust into the role of 'dining planners' and were selected as they were familiar with the SAR's dining scene. The ad aims to positions DBS as the preferred credit card for dining card in Hong Kong, with ongoing rewards and benefits for users.

Lorain Lam, vice president of DBS Hong Kong explained that the concept is a unique platform for the brand to differentiate from its competitors. She says the bank leveraged on the three handpicked dining planners’ expertise to offer special dining experiences to DBS cardholders. 

“DBS is the first bank in Hong Kong ever to launch the 'dining planner' idea," she says. "With a simple concept for the TVC, it makes a bold promise and treats its credit cardholders to an array of dining surprises and privileges,” added Alexis Chiu, group business director at DDB Group Hong Kong.

Tribal DDB Hong Kong was appointed the AOR of DBS Bank in August last year.
