Through a new integrated marketing campaign, Stanbic
IBTC Holdings PLC, a member of Standard Bank Group, is validating its depth and
far-reaching scope in the delivery on its mission as Nigeria’s leading
end-to-end financial solutions provider.
The new brand campaign reinforces the brand focus that
it enables ‘you to be’ and ‘be all you can be’. According to the universal
financial services organisation, the campaign will run on radio, television,
press, outdoor, advertising, and digital, among other channels of
communication. It exposes the main business pillars on which the Stanbic IBTC
brand stands - a full service financial institution with a clear focus on
Corporate and Investment Banking, Personal and Business Banking and Wealth
Management.
Launched on Monday, June 11, 2018, the brand campaign comes
against the backdrop of the 6th anniversary of Stanbic IBTC’s adoption of a
holding company structure in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s directive for
separation of core commercial banking activities from other financial
activities such as stockbrokerage, asset management and pension, among others.
The campaign catalogues Stanbic
IBTC’s customer segment from cradle to estate management. This means, babies,
youths and adults, so there is something for everyone. It also restates its
commitment to supporting people of all walks of life to accomplishing their
goals. It is based on insights from market research on customer expectations
which has become particularly imperative as the group continues to expand its offerings
across the financial services landscape.
Speaking in Lagos, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC
Holdings PLC, Mr. Yinka Sanni, said “the pivotal message here is first and
foremost that of appreciation, encouragement and guarantee for our esteemed
customers that we are their partner at every stage through life’s journey, to
make progress real by enabling people and businesses.” He noted that enormous
improvements have been made across the businesses in terms of product and
service offerings, access channels and customer care, as well as innovation and
technological application.
He said, “Over the last couple of years, we have
expanded our footprint across the country by establishing our presence in all
states of the federation and the FCT. In addition, we have established
Nigeria’s first self-service digital bank branch, a very robust mobile banking
app, an innovation hub, the personal teller machine, and various hybrid products
and services targeted at different market segments. All these are designed to
deliver on our goal of being an institution for everyone.”
Sanni added that the new brand campaign is in line
with the financial services group’s ongoing strategy and efforts aimed at
increasing its retail product and service offerings especially in niche financial
services focus areas like personal and business banking, and wealth and
investment management.
“Our main goal is to continue to render best
in class service to our customers who cut right across Nigeria’s socio-economic
spectrum and play a leading role in supporting individuals, businesses and the
Nigerian economy,” Sanni said.
“At Stanbic IBTC, our deepest commitment is to offer
flawless customer service,” he added.
