Wealthsimple The Futurists

Invest in the future. Whatever you think it is.

The future feels more uncertain than ever: will it be positive or negative, dominated by robots or by artificial intelligence? That is the worry Wealthsimple wanted to address.

Out-of-home

Visions of the future, adapted into French.

Each poster carries a conviction, always in the same formula: “Le futur, c’est…”

Voice: Investing is fundamentally about betting on the future. So we asked people what they think the future will look like.

“We’ll know through our smart bracelets, for example, when we’re about to catch a cold. Like, three days before the first symptoms.”

“Well, you know, smart algae that clean the oceans. Maybe even pollinator robots.”

“Going to space. Yeah, with little rockets, little…”

“I mean, if you’re sick of winter snowstorms, well, go for it: a little weekend on the Moon.”

Voice: Invest in the future. Whatever you think it is. Start now at wealthsimple.com.

Result

A radio and out-of-home campaign, so that everyone can picture themselves in their own future.

Even if we don’t share these visions, they act as a mirror for our own convictions.
