Grey Advertising Africa has been confirmed as the new creative agency for Rand Merchant Bank (RMB), the corporate and investment arm of FirstRand Bank Limited. FirstRand and its subsidiaries operate in several African countries – including Botswana, Namibia, Nigeria and South Africa.

“The strong values on which RMB was built drive our business, as does our constant pursuit of innovation. Grey share a similar value set, with a passion for creativity and commerciality, and bring diverse capabilities that will energise and bring to life our brand promise of ‘Traditional Values.

“The Grey team is thrilled to be working with this iconic brand. We share the same ambition around the role creativity and innovation play in driving growth for the RMB brand and business,” adds Paul Jackson, Grey’s CEO.

“As we learned more about the RMB culture, values and collaborative spirit, it became clear that RMB was different from other corporate and investment banks. We can’t wait to get started.”
