Behaviour & Attitudes had a good year in the local Research Excellence Awards, awarded by the Marketing Society of Ireland, winning three (out of six) category awards and the overall Grand Prix. The two clients involved are AIB and RTE, respectively Irelands leading bank and broadcaster. AIB’s ‘Backing Brave’ was an initiative to help reposition and grow AIB in the wake of the financial collapse and essential nationalisation of the bank. B&A worked on a series of projects over three years to help develop the business and advertising strategy. The tonality and feel of the multimedia campaign was very different and new, and lead to significant consumer and business reappraisal of the bank, and strong growth. Rather than being ‘about the bank’ the ads are about its customers, the people who take risks starting their own businesses. RTE’s challenge was to grow its digital properties and presence, having been the leading ‘traditional’ media brand. B&As work involved a digital user segmentation, which has been applied successfully across the organisation. This is B&As third time winning the Grand Prix and the company remains the most awarded research and insights agency in Ireland in the seven years since the award scheme commenced.
