BLKB Launches OOH Campaign with Farner
The Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank (BLKB) has launched a new out-of-home (OOH) and digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising campaign developed by the Swiss agency Farner. The campaign, which started on October 19, 2026, focuses on the bank's customer advisory services with the slogan 'Echte Beratung schafft Klarheit' (Real advice creates clarity). The creative concept uses a red thread that visually represents the 'Finanz-Gnusch' (financial tangle), which unravels from left to right, symbolizing how BLKB's advisory helps customers clarify their financial questions. The bank emphasizes that it sees advice as a listening process, not a sales pitch, and aims to provide a foundation for customers' financial decisions. The campaign is also intended to be integrated into the advisory experience, with further developments planned for early 2027. The campaign credits include the team at Farner and the BLKB marketing department. The campaign will run on OOH and DOOH surfaces.
This is a local campaign launch for a Swiss cantonal bank, relevant to the marketing sector but not a major industry shift.

DKB launches performance-driven retirement savings campaign
Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB) launched a new conversion- and performance-driven campaign for its retirement savings account (Altersvorsorgedepot) on October 30, 2026, following a pitch won by agency Antoni in October. The campaign, titled 'Altersvorsorge. Aber auf einfach.', humorously contrasts complex banking jargon with DKB's simple approach. It includes a TV spot, social clips, and OOH motifs. Media planning by OMD covers TV, Addressable TV, online video (YouTube, Disney+), social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), and DOOH. The campaign supports DKB's 'DKB 2030' strategy to simplify banking and retirement products. A second flight is planned for January 2027, when the product becomes available to all Germans, replacing the Riester pension. DKB also works with strategy consultancy Diffferent on brand positioning, while a separate brand campaign is handled by HeimatTBWA.
