Execution
Students love free stuff, so we gave them heaps of it. To resonate with our target, the O’Week campaign needed to be fun and quirky. So we borrowed from their vernacular to create the line ‘Heaps Free is Heaps Good’. Heaps Free then became the common thread throughout the campaign, all the while tieing back to our product offering of ‘fee free’ banking.The response would hopefully be that students signed up to fee free banking.

We opened 15,679 new NetBank Saver accounts amongst campaign branches, which is 67% higher than last year.
