Digital Humanism

  • What’s happening: A cool, stylized character with flowing hair, sunglasses, and a chill vibe holds a smartphone while leaning casually against a bold orange background. Above him, a green chalkboard graphic introduces the concept of “Digital Humanism”—described as having a voice assistant that actually understands you. The ad promotes Bankia’s virtual assistant, Blanka, who helps simplify everyday transactions.

  • Why it’s awesome: This ad fuses warmth with tech in a way that feels refreshingly human. The term “Digital Humanism” suggests that innovation should serve people—not the other way around.
