Objectives for the re-launch
Sweet Spot
Finding the 'sweet spot' across these target groups
6High Net Worth, and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals Swiss Population Corporate Decision Makers Employees
In order to re-launch our brand efficiently and with sufficient impact, we have to find our 'sweet spot' across all four target groups – Those who are inspired by the idea
entrepreneurial spirit – Those who are familiar and comfortable with largely digital content – Those who buy into our role as a thought leader, and ultimately, as the bank of the future – Those who will act as influencers and multipliers towards those beyond our reach
Nine factors identify 6 key customer personas
Motivation What gets you out of bed? Outlook Do you think locally, globally, or somewhere in between? Purpose for wealth What's your money is for? Seizing opportunities Are you impulsive or considered? Time How much control do you have over your time? Family What role do your loved ones play? Responsibility to society Are you concerned with making a difference? Display of wealth Overt or covert? And does it matter? Fulfillment Chasing goals or are you content?

Looks right. Sounds good.
Section 2
This is our personality.
This is how clients and the public should perceive UBS. Never arrogant, nor too serious. The personality needs to come across in all of our communication. And it will help UBS to humanize, modernize and differentiate.

Starting point
We can't outspend the competition Advertising is a must, but it alone won’t do the trick Continuous, strong coverage across Paid/Owned/Earned is essential PR + brand journalism / content marketing are key We have to find a way to become the "talk of town"…but stay true to our brand: "disruption and coherence"
The 'talk of town'

Media Coverage – preview
“The new photos have been commissioned for the UBS Art Collection, one of the largest corporate collections of contemporary art in existence, with over 35,000
the art world” “It sounds fabulous and congratulations to UBS on a wonderful collaboration”
“The works, mounted by the financial services company UBS, will become part of the firm’s contemporary art collection.” "To have a commission to take photographs of subjects I really cared about and to be given this kind of opportunity was extraordinary" Annie Leibovitz "The new collection, commissioned by Swiss banking group UBS, will go on tour from January." Annie Leibovitz said: “It is extraordinary to do this work for UBS on a subject that I really care
subject, it is like going out and photographing the ocean.” In addition to the new works, “WOMEN: New Portraits” will include work from the original series and other photographs taken since, reflecting what UBS describes as “the changes in the roles of women today.” "In association with UBS, “WOMEN: New Portraits” is an extended project that began with the book that Leibovitz published with Susan Sontag in 2000, and will focus on the continually changing role of women in the world."
"For sponsor UBS, the collaboration is a natural by- product of Leibovitz's work for the bank's recent global ad campaign which stood out for its emotional focus on, and curiosity about, ordinary people making quotidian financial choices about their lives." Singapore Business Times

Takeaways
Lay out your branding objectives very clearly and match against instruments Avoid piecemeal – create one coherent program, linked by a common theme Make sure to tell a compelling and convincing story… …and tell it in one go (most media give you one shot only) "Talk of the town" can seem costly, but it may be more efficient in the end Don't underestimate the cost of activation and professional PR support
Thank you.
