Asda Money

Creating impactful brand distinction

We partnered with Asda Money to take an approach unlike anything that had been done before. Designing and creating a central character that would become the face of the brand and digital marketing activity.

The challenge

Asda Money offers a trusted range of personal finance products, but the brand needed something special to stand-out from competitors and better connect with new and existing customers.

The solution

‘Monty the pig’ was born. Sitting at the forefront of the brand and its digital activity, Monty brought a touch of humour and accessibility to a sector that is known to be detail-heavy and lacking in personality.
