Sparkasse launches Out-of-Home Campaign for 'New Saving'
The Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, together with lead agency Scholz & Friends, has expanded its 'Mission Neues Sparen' campaign with a nationwide out-of-home (OOH) push for its online depot S-Neo. Following the launch of the YouTube series 'Die Neusparer', the new OOH motives use location-based humor, such as 'Tipp für den Kiez' in Hamburg, 'O’glegt is!' in Munich, and a warning at Frankfurt Airport. The campaign includes hand-painted murals and 3D animations on digital billboards in major cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Frankfurt. The goal is to promote modern saving and investment culture across Germany. Media planning was handled by S-Communication Services in cooperation with ASS Werbe GmbH.
This is a notable OOH advertising campaign by a major German financial brand, showcasing creative use of out-of-home media and localised humor. It is relevant to the AdTech/MarTech ecosystem as an example of brand marketing execution, but not an industry-shifting event.

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.

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.
