Sparkasse and Twentyrising Mix Stand-up Comedy with Storytelling
German savings bank Sparkasse, through its credit partner brand S-Kreditpartner, has launched a new marketing campaign created by agency Twentyrising. The campaign features stand-up comedian Robert Alan, who humorously narrates absurd situations of financial distress, such as being unable to pay a locksmith and ending up sleeping on his couch. The campaign positions Sparkasse's credit products as simple solutions to such predicaments. This follows a recent previous campaign by Twentyrising for Sparkasse, indicating a continued collaboration between the bank and the agency.
A regional bank's campaign is a routine marketing activity, not industry-shifting.

Twentyrising Debuts 'Oberhammer Oberbayern' Music Video for Sparda-Bank Munich
German agency Twentyrising has unveiled its debut campaign for Sparda-Bank München after winning the bank's advertising account in a pitch months earlier. The two-minute music video, titled 'Oberhammer Oberbayern', is a love letter to Upper Bavaria. It shows a couple driving through the region in a classic BMW while a catchy hymn celebrates regional pride. Sparda-Bank CEO Peter Berger says the campaign reflects the bank's role as a community-focused 'Gemeinwohl-Bank'. The film ends with a link to the 'Oberkonto', promoting the free Sparda Next checking account. The integrated campaign runs in cinemas, on social media platforms including Reddit, TikTok and Twitch, across (D)OOH surfaces and on radio. The video was produced by Umlautfilms with music by Not A Machine and directed by Baris Aladag. Twentyrising also modernized the bank's visual identity and serves clients such as Congstar, Netflix, RTL and Freenow.
