London - HSBC
and Saatchi & Saatchi have launched a new global campaign to support the
bank’s international golf sponsorship portfolio which supports all levels of
the game from grassroots to elite.
Golf is quickly changing; with fresh audiences and new players from all over
the world. HSBC's ambition is to open up the world of golf and the 'Anyone's
Game' campaign is designed to bring that to life.
The campaign was produced in Chile and Shanghai with Director Scott Lyon and Photographer
Dean Rogers.
The campaign breaks on TV from 30th October across Pan-Asian countries, prior
to the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai. A 60” film made for YouTube, plus
digital, print and outdoor will launch globally ahead of the Abu Dhabi HSBC
Golf Championship in January. The campaign will support the HSBC golf
portfolio, promoted in social channels via @HSBC_Golf and brought to life at
their interactive villages at flagship events.
Andrea Newman, Global Head of Advertising and Marketing at HSBC says:
"HSBC's golf portfolio covers a wide range of activity from Patron of the
Open - the sport's oldest tournament and trophy - through to our own flagship
golf tournaments in Asia, the UAE and Brazil. We are also investing in grass
roots programmes in the UK and China to help unearth future global superstars
of the game. Anyone's Game is a campaign that recognises the changing shape and
influence of the game of Golf around the world."
Kate Stanners, Chief Creative Officer, Saatchi & Saatchi London,
says: "We've taken golf out of the club house into the real world, making
it feel as popular, accessible and fun as more mainstream sports like football
– and showing that golf really can be Anyone's Game."
