“Perfect, except…” TVC | Director: Mark Romanek DP: Jeff Cronenweth
Role: Executive Creative Director | Agency: Wieden & Kennedy & Anonymous Content

Description: Nobody is perfect, especially when it comes to finances.But we certainly like to pretend we are. Letting our perfect facades crumble, just a little, is the first step to getting better. The second step is reaching out for help.

How does Chime help? Chime is built on understanding and working with people’s imperfections. This empathy can transcend the category and inspire something bigger —the belief that our imperfections aren’t something to be ashamed of. That we don’t have to be perfect to be perfect.

“#WhyIChime” TVC, 30s,15s

Role: Executive, Head of Creative | Agency: Blink & Chime

Description: Tableau of different environments with two casted characters. From existing member stories: two characters are talking about a relatable financial issue, with a valuable lesson learned.

Member Story Inspiration: Jeninne lives in Vermont with her boyfriend and two cats. She didn’t think mistakes of her 20’s would haunt her still. Patricia faced similar issues when she and her husband moved to a new state — paying on time, every time didn’t matter, her credit score did.

A couple sitting on a couch in a living room, engaged in conversation. The man is holding a TV remote while the woman, wearing glasses, listens attentively. The room is warmly lit with a lamp and decorative framed pictures on the wall.

Member Story Inspiration: Monica and her brother Jordan share their bills — but sometimes things can slip through the cracks. Monica forgot to pay their cell phone bill, and without the help of Chime’s SpotMe, this sibling situation could have turned into a rivalry real quick! Good thing Chime’s got their backs.
