Postbank's Cross-Channel Video Campaign Boosts Brand Awareness
Postbank, with Essencemediacom, ran a cross‑channel video campaign from October 2024 to April 2025 to promote a Tagesgeldkonto. The objective was to boost brand awareness, rapidly capture attention for the limited‑time offer, and generate account openings, while identifying the most effective channels for future planning.

KPIs were reportedly exceeded.
