When a brand play delivers More Than Money: NAB’s global head of brand cites record consideration, Gen Z connection and media efficiency gains eight years on from the tagline’s launch

NAB this month launched the latest iteration of its ‘More Than Money’ platform, dubbed ‘Wrangle Your Money’, in partnership with TBWAMelbourne and Mindshare. Around since 2016 as a marketing line, the campaign platform has proven itself to be a usefully flexible brand tool for adapting to the changing needs of customers, says head of group brand, Sue Brailsford. That’s particularly important given Australia’s explosive interest rate rise and cost-of-living conditions over the last 18 months.

Australian economy is shaping up to be a tale of two halves for consumer sentiment and spending, say EY, Deloitte and Roy Morgan economists, and retail conditions are adapting to suit

Ernst & Young Oceania chief economist, Cherelle Murphy, is predicting a year of two halves for sentiment and spending as consumers with a mortgage or rental agreement trudge through months more of tougher cost-of-living conditions before getting a minor reprieve through real wage growth and tax cuts.

Market mix modelling, bold brand bets and AI-powered personalisation at scale: How Domain’s CMO is reeling-in REA as greater firepower blitzes category curve

Domain CMO, Rebecca Darley, is bullish about the property marketplace’s commercial performance against its larger rival, REA Group, and she has the figures to back her up. While overall category audience growth hit 5 per cent according to Ipsos’ Spring 2023 figures, Domain more than doubled performance against its major competitor, chalking up 10.3 per cent audience growth versus its rival’s 4 per cent. Meanwhile its media business is up 30 per cent this financial year – and Darley’s targeting greater gains across utilities, finance and insurance. All of which adds directly to the bottom line for a marketer with an acute commercial focus. From building a proprietary market mix model and trebling internal data, tech and advertising team headcount, to driving dynamic AI-powered personalisation at scale, investing in a big brand platform, and emphasising internal capability, Darley believes she’s found the smarts that deliver results now resonating in the boardroom.
