National Bank Storefronts

Sid Lee

SilverDesign - Promotion

Canada’s entrepreneur bank took over the storefronts of ten vacant units in Montreal’s Plaza Saint-Hubert commercial district to address its high vacancy rate. With colourful murals, the campaign reached out to millions of passersby, inviting them to imagine their businesses in the iconic district and offering a year of free rent as part of a contest that registered over 4,000 entrants. Traffic for NBC.ca increased 263% and three of the shops were filled within a month. The bank’s revenue even increased 9% for the quarter.
