Screen Shot 2018-07-23 at 7.09.56 am.jpgTo inject a fresh energy into the home loan category, and get New Zealanders excited and feeling confident about progressing with every aspect of their home buying journey, WiTH Collective, Linked by Isobar, has worked with ASB to launch a new platform to help Kiwis “Own That Home.”

The new positioning from WiTH Collective for ASB, ‘Own It’, highlights the experience of everyday people going through the ups and downs of buying property, aiming to actively encourage and support those at any stage of the process through targeted online content, bespoke customer comms, social promotion and OOH.

WiTH Collective, Linked by Isobar, developed the campaign creative based on the insight that confidence is often low when consumers are considering buying property. The resulting creative directs customers to ASB’s tips, tools, guidance and advice to help them feel empowered to progress with the next step in their home-buying journey.

Says Simon Fowler, creative director, WiTH Collective: “There’s a lot of negativity aroundASB Own It 3.jpg buying a home – the process is considered daunting, stressful and confusing. We’re excited to have worked with ASB on a campaign that fills New Zealanders with confidence, and celebrates the hard yards you have to put in.

Says Shane Evans, general manager of marketing, ASB: “At ASB we’re focused on helping Kiwis achieve their home ownership dream. We’re pleased ‘Own it’ will help customers do just that, by empowering them to confidently take steps towards owning their own home. We’ve

enjoyed developing our home lending ‘Own it’ creative platform alongside the WiTH Collective team. They’re great story tellers with a fresh and bold vision.”
