For 161 years, U.S. Bank has been empowering its clients’ potential in both big and small ways. In early 2024 they asked us to develop a new brand campaign to help tell this story to the world.
We created “The Power of US,” campaign, highlighting the relationship between U.S. Bank, its clients, its people, and its products. “To achieve this, we developed a campaign that resonates with a wide range of people, including business owners, new parents, U.S. Bank employees, and institutional bankers.”
The campaign is centered around a brand film, “All In,” and subsequent spots “Adulting,” “Enjoying the Rewards” and “Perfect Merger.” Viewers may recognize a familiar voice — actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
Each story told is rooted in the idea that U.S. Bank understands what actually goes into achieving your goals. And while the end result is something to celebrate, it takes a partner who is there with you every step of the way. And this message of collaboration and togetherness is something the world definitely needs in this moment. There is nothing as powerful as the power of us.
Using the power of the Superconductor, we were able to develop AI audiences that both informed and evaluated the campaign, conducted a competitive analysis to uncover opportunities for U.S. Bank, and crafted a strategy to unlock the brand’s latent equity.” The campaign was developed through a collaborative process across business lines, allowing U.S. Bank to reflect on its organization and identify what sets it apart from its peers.”
We help brands implement AI where decisions happen
We built their sales team an AI cocktail strategist. Tito’s on-premise reps pitch bars and restaurants nationwide, but had no way to know what was trending, what competitors were pouring, or what would fit the venue. So we built BERT: an AI tool that fuses real-time social signals and cocktail trends with Tito’s institutional mixology knowledge, then generates venue-specific drink recommendations with talking points built in.

We help leaders see more clearly
Deloitte's CMO Program engages ~20 Fortune 50 marketing leaders, an audience that doesn't respond to generic thought leadership. We refreshed the brand and built editorial content that synthesizes their own thinking back at them with sharper framing than they'd produce internally.
