BMO's tagline is "Making money make sense", and our challenge was to illustrate that within a banner. So, we chose to create a unique interaction between media and content. First we wrote a relevant financial article for Huffington Post that was intentionally complex. When a user clicked on the BMO banner next to it, the article simplified. The unit had a 7% click-through rate, and helped reinforce BMO as the bank of financial clarity.
