Kids' Fantasies for Adults

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Bank Norwegian Makes Your Childhood Dreams Come True

— February 11, 2009 — Pop Culture
Ever dreamed of receiving a pony, hanglider, or waterjet as a child? Well Bank Norwegian can help you make your dreams come true, even though it may take about 50 years.

Their tagline reads “Saving. It might take a while. Bank Norwegian. Loans you can live with.”

The people used in these ads are perfect in translating the message of finally receiving what you wished for after so many years. I love the woman with the pony, her facial expression is priceless.

The furnishing used in each ad, especially that funky pink carpet and pillows in the hanglider ad, really add a touch of “saving your money for your dream purchase.”

The ads were created by advertising agencyKitcen, Oslo, Norway, with creative direction by Per Erik Jarl and Eirik Stensrud. The copy was written by Christian Hygen and Thomas Askim, with photography by Morten Borgestad.
