I totally agree with you. This ad seems like a copy of an SBS movie, nothing original about it either.

Why don’t Australian advertisers, directors, film makers be abit more original with the products /services they advertise?

Thanks for pointing out what that ad was about. I actually had no idea…or that it had anyhing to do with the CBA. Totally forgetable.

u sound like have bank a loan with them haha

I recall a similar discussion on ANZ / NAB advertising on Gruen Transfer in season 1. They were saying that banks has so much legacy, hence it is very difficult to advertise or change perceptions. So NAB created a new sub brand called UBank, so they could do some fresh advertising (with a clean slate).

True enough, but perhaps the lesson is to pick up some Comm Bank shares, so you can get your piece of that $6 billion!
Certainly wish I had some right now!
But, the reason they make such massive profits is because people keep banking with them, despite the plethora of better alternatives. Or possibly because they’re in league with Satan, I’m not sure…
