A toy made to troll traditional banks



TED Lover

PR Stunt for Nubank at Nubank CreativeLab

Role:
Lead Copywriter

Cultural Background:
"TED" is a Brazilian acronym for Electronic Fund Transfer (Transferência Eletrônica Disponível). Brazilians use a TED when they need to transfer money to another bank account instantly.

The idea:
NuConta, Nubank's current account, has free and unlimited TEDs. But some traditional banks were still charging as much as R$19,05 for a single transfer.

So we showed everyone a better way of using that money by creating an exclusive "TED Bear" that anyone could buy for the same R$19,05.
