Lloyds Bank
Project: It's Giving You
We helped Lloyds Bank tackle festive financial anxiety with a cheeky, social-first campaign. By reframing gifting culture to prioritise presence over expensive presents, the comedic activation won over young people and drove meaningful engagement.
01The Challenge
Christmas – whilst a time of year that is full of joy – creates pressure to keep up with societal expectations and overspend, driving half of young people into debt before their December payday. Lloyds Bank had to cut through cluttered festive advertising to address this financial anxiety – without sounding like a corporate killjoy – to help the nation spend less and start 2026 financially green.
02The Solution
We launched “It’s Giving You” – a social-first comedic activation reframing gifting to focus on presence. An interactive pop-up experience let guests personalise merchandise with their own faces, featuring slogans like ‘Wrap me up, baby’, ‘It’s giving me’ and ‘Your best gift yet’, while creators Jack Remmington and Ash Holmes co-created native TikTok content alongside highly shareable, always-on memes.
03The Impact
The campaign achieved massive scale – securing over 68.4 million impressions and 718k engagements. Lloyds gained 117,560 homepage clicks (+25% vs plan) via highly efficient CPCs on TikTok, while their TikTok community grew by a spectacular 1,128%.
