Experian Consumer Direct unveils new TV advertisements depicting real financial challenges of Americans
Ads aim to empower consumers to take control of their credit
Irvine, Calif., Jan. 18, 2011 — Experian Consumer Direct has unveiled a new advertising campaign designed around the emotional realities and credit struggles that Americans face daily.
Created by The Martin Agency, the new ads will appear nationwide and will run on national cable networks. The 30-second spots portray the realities faced by many Americans whose credit has been affected by recent economic issues or other life circumstances, and they connect to the emotion of the situation by showing that consumers are more than just their numerical credit score.
“We’ve listened to our clients and understand the challenges they face every day in regard to credit and managing or controlling their finances,” said Mike Dean, president of Experian Consumer Direct. “Products such as CreditReport.com have resources and information available to help people understand their credit, which is an important element of financial health.”
