SUMMARY
HSBC leveraged two of the hottest trends among young consumers, concerts and the metaverse, to create the DuoVerse; a concert that lived in both the real and virtual worlds at exactly the same time.
This effort created a truly unique and innovative experience while positioning HSBC’s digital capabilities. It also helped reverse a trend of young consumers seeing HSBC as “old fashioned” and choosing virtual banks instead.
This led to an 81% increase in active users among 18-34, while HSBC moved from 3rd
to 1st in “Top Banking App” perception.
