ART DIRECTION, COPYWRITING, GRAPHIC DESIGN, MOTION GRAPHICS & UI
N2 Albiino, 2021
We redefined the brand position, marketing concept, and key visuals for S-Pankki while updating the UI for its app.
Our key insight: S-Pankki could tap into the massive S-Bonus customer base by centralizing services within S-Ryhmä’s extensive network of grocery stores, restaurants, and more. This approach positioned S-Pankki as a unique, customer-owned, fair, and forward-thinking bank—integrated into everyday life from student loans to mortgages and beyond.
I helped shape the key visuals and tone of voice, designing the digital experience across the app, website, iconography, and animations. I also contributed to copywriting, including some slogans.
Though the project didn’t come to fruition, I found our brand positioning warm, courageous, and refreshingly different from traditional banking.
Main slogans for S-Pankki that separate them from their competition in a warm way.
Like a bank, but your own. Like a bank, but good. Like a bank, but smart.
Various slogans for different customer segments and interests. I contributed with the two first lines.
Topics include investing, student loans, mortgage and so on.

The iconography was quite generic in itself and followed the already existing S Brand, to ensure that a wide audience would understand it, but the animations gave life and a distinct character to each of them thus making the app more active, delightful and modern. These were crafted by yours truly.
