Credit card brand American Express wants to showcase to U.K. customers the benefits of living life using its Gold card while also promoting its partnership with delivery service Deliveroo.
Created by Dentsu McGarryBowen (DenstuMD), the “What Do You Want” campaign to promote the Preferred Rewards Gold Card shows how using it can benefit people who live their lives in the moment.
Launched on May 28 and directed by Somesuch director Aneil Karia, the film features a young woman talking about all the things she wants in life while experiencing various activities like buying coffee, hanging out with friends, learning a new language and going on holiday, all while earning rewards through her gold card.
The one-minute film includes the brand platform “American Express: Don’t live life without it” and supports its new offer of up to 10 pounds off per month with Deliveroo.
“Our exciting new benefit partnership with Deliveroo means we continue to back our Cardmembers with meaningful, flexible rewards,” Dave Edwards, director of U.K. product and partnership acquisition for American Express, said in a statement. “With an American Express Gold Card you can also earn points on pretty much anything you buy, so being rewarded for just being yourself is a message we wanted to celebrate.”
With media planning and buying by Universal McCann, the campaign will run across TV and online, as well as through outdoor cinema events in partnerships with The Luna Cinema. Further out of home activity will promote everyday purchases such as buying a morning coffee.
