Monzo Presents: A Very Special Premiere / TV Advert Discussion

Very good, great tone, has that Monzo feel to it, and I’ve met Bingo too, so I’ve met a proper soon to be TV star!

Apparently we’ll have the first set of meaningful data by next week :grinning:

Some of the big ones come later today, we’ve got Sky News, ITV News, The Official UK Top 40, Friends, Big Bang Theory and Family Guy spots all tonight!

A friend pointed out how nice it is to see a bank ad that actually talks about the features and isn’t just about the brand.

And no mention of how many hundreds in free money you’ll get, and no shameless use of nostalgia, and no horses running in slow motion on the beach, and no millennials having a sudden poetry soliloquy whilst out shopping.

Very different indeed :+1:

As someone without a TV license, I’m probably a bit out of touch, are any TV channels running the 1 minute version, as (apart from christmas) I’m unaware of UK TV ads longer than 30 seconds.

I hope all 3 card manufacturers are geared up ready to go :crossed_fingers:t3:,

Good adverts monzo well done!

I love them!

Surprised nobody has mentioned the bit where the guy is in the car. I would say don’t use that app to contact someone in whilst driving :wink:

I liked the posters

Good & informative advert! However, BrewDog is still currently my fav! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9OZMXsw5tI

Also talk to a human 24/7! Once they answer a few hours later…the CS responses really need to improve if this is a selling point. I’ll agree, it is an alright service (used to be much better), but having to wait a while (think 6 hours was my record) and then throughout the conversation it is picked up by and answered by different CS peeps is really painful. Needs to be a focus point while there is going to be raft of signups.

I was just about to say this!

I thought it was meant to be on during Coronation Street, did I misread or assume something? :joy:

They didn’t say which Coronation Street, to be fair. You’ll have to watch all the first showings, and the repeats on ITV2, and the weekend omnibus. Just to be sure.
