THE IDEA
Best-in-class retailers give consumers incredible in-store experiences. Why can’t a best-in-class bank do the same?
The Story
The business strategy we developed for RBC was driven by a keen understanding of what makes great retailers so great. Consumers crave experiences that reflect who they are and who they want to be; the best stores are those that present this possibility to them—not just products. While retailers had evolved significantly to meet consumer expectations, bank branches had largely remained the same.
Our challenge to RBC was to think about their business like a best-in-class retailer, and their clients like shoppers—never underestimating the importance of the customer relationship. They accepted, even beginning meetings throughout their organization with a rallying cry about the change we were on a mission to create: “Banking is like shopping…and I like it!”
Our business strategy for RBC facilitated a thoughtful evolution of their organization that allowed them to continue delivering on their brand promise of advice. Twelve years later, we remain as committed as ever to RBC’s goal of ensuring the financial wellbeing of all Canadians.
