Background

Americans have their choice of payment methods for most purchases, including cash, check, credit, debit, and newer electronic payments. As the new forms of payment become popular, mostly based in credit, all of these choices lead to questions about where can I find the best offers and which credit offerings are right for me? 


To help with your financial goals, this Mystery Sponsor, being the new leader in Credit Matching, is the only place to go get credit offers tailored specifically for you, because the offers are based on your data and FICO Score. And because the Sponsor is knowledgeable and strong, yet approachable and friendly, you will be confident that you are making the best decision in the safest way. 


The first phase of this project will be to find a breakthrough Concepts for two :30 TV videos that will convey how this new credit matching product can help consumers get better credit AND guaranteed loan offers. 


What You Need to Know


Before submitting your Concepts please make sure to read the remainder of the brief for all the important details.

Objectives

The goal of this project is to create two (2) :30-second TV Videos and each with a :15-second cutdown that communicates that this new leader in Credit Matching is the only place to go get credit card and loan offers tailored specifically for you. 


--Target Audience: College educated adults 25-55 with children. The primary target is those currently in market for a credit card, e.g. looking to get their first credit card or better credit cards and guaranteed loan offers.


--Tone: Warm and inviting. Humor is ok, so long as it’s not too broad. Think warm smile not knee slapper.  If you’re going for a humorous take, keep in mind that it should be smart and insightful, please avoid slapstick or anything that is overly irreverent and could be perceived as being insensitive to people. 

Details

PHASE 1: Concept – Tell us your Concept that highlights a new product connecting individuals with a better credit card and loan offers by safely and intelligently utilizing their own data in 250 characters or less. Remember, a Concept/Idea (What is an Idea Phase?) is not a detailed script; it is a spark of inspiration or a distillation of what will happen in the Video. As always, Concepts/Ideas should be clever and engaging. The four (4) winning Concept creators will receive $500 each.
