Batman and LendingTree Rescue Economy With Superheroes

lending_tree_bedroom.jpg

Remember Batman? No, not the one played by the guy who became a YouTube sensation when he verbally assaulted a member of his film crew. No, not the one played by the one who used to be a doctor on ER. No, not the one who played Jim Morrison in the movie The Doors. No, not the one who play a stay at home dad in the movie Mr. Mom.

Nope. We’re talking about the original TV Batman. He’s still alive, by the way, in case you were wondering and his name is Adam West. And he’s the voice behind this new Lending Tree campaign from Mullen. And in a nice nod to West’s past gig as superhero-in-tights, he helps people discover their inner superhero so they can battle Wall Street and come to the rescue of today’s biggest villain; the economy.

And in complete compliance with the National Center for the Equality of Racial Representation in Advertising, there’s version featuring a white male, a black male and a woman. OK so they left out combos like black woman but NCERRA only requires a 75 percent compliance rate.

See the spots here and here.

People who build wealth without anyone noticing usually aren’t doing anything dramatic, they’ve just replaced three ordinary decisions with automatic ones: retirement contributions that come out before a paycheck is seen, a savings rate that rises quietly with every raise, and a lifestyle that stays flat while income doesn’t
