Promoting the new HSBC voice ID, this multi-channel campaign uses simple yet authentic storytelling to bring this technology back to its roots.
While brands continue to compete for dominance with the latest tech, particularly when it comes to finance, HSBC takes a step away from the jargon that separates consumers and instead focuses on the story behind voice recognition.
Set in New Zealand, the spot tells the story of a young boy desperate to fit in with his peers. Overcoming numerous obstacles in an attempt to join in with their woodland adventures, gaining entry to a secret den proves trickier than he first thinks.
With high production value, colourful imagery and an uplifting soundtrack track, this tale of acceptance demonstrates how the most simple solutions can often be the most beneficial.

With over 70K views on YouTube since being posted just 24-hours ago, the video has proved popular with audiences and demonstrates the impact technology can have for families across the globe.
