Santander International: Travel Essentials
Launching a new product with style
When Santander International launched a new Charge Card in Jersey and the Isle of Man, they needed a standout campaign to match.
The product brought something new to the market: a credit card alternative with monthly repayments and travel perks. But it entered a competitive space, with changing regulation and new players already jostling for attention.
We worked closely with Santander’s marketing team to shape a creative campaign that was distinctive, flexible and deeply relevant to island life. The result? A multi-channel campaign that delivers measurable awareness, engagement and enquiries across every stage of the customer journey.

A simple insight, creatively executed
With islanders frequently travelling for work, holidays and weekends away, we anchored the campaign on a universal behaviour: packing. The creative idea - 'Travel Essentials' - turned each trip into a flat-lay suitcase image, showing everything you might need.
The campaign featured a series of themed visuals tailored to different travel types - beach breaks, golf trips, ski holidays, girls’ weekends and more. This variety ensured broad relevance and helped the campaign connect with a varied audience. No matter the destination, the message remained clear: don’t forget your Charge Card.
We directed a bespoke photo shoot with Jersey-based photographer Ollie Jones and stylist Emma Camm. AI concepts helped guide composition, but we chose real photography to ensure quality and authenticity. The result is a visual toolkit that works across placements, channels and audiences.
Designed for performance
The campaign runs across Meta, YouTube, Google Display and Demand Gen. We produced high-impact video and static ads that deliver across every format - including technically complex display banners with large-format imagery at under 150kb. A technical challenge met with an impressively creative approach and result.
The campaign also extended to out-of-home placements, including a large-format digital billboard in St Helier and arrivals screens at Jersey Airport. These placements ensured visibility at high-impact, high-footfall moments.

Clear results, continued momentum
The campaign successfully introduces the Charge Card to new and existing customers, creating strong awareness across Jersey and the Isle of Man and driving a steady flow of online and in-branch enquiries. Search activity around the card continues to grow, and performance remains strong across all channels.
It’s a clear example of what happens when strong insight meets great creative and collaborative execution.
