Marketing
Keytrade Bank provides the numbers used in the daily financial magazine called Cotes et Cours which is broadcast by the RTBF. This partnership allows Keytrade Bank to run a short spot advertising just before and after the magazine. This seems like a win-win marketing operation for both the RTBF and Keytrade Bank.
On 29 September 2014, KeytradeBank Belgium established a brand new visual identity: a new logo, responsive website and advertising campaign have been announced. The logo is advertised as simpler to reflect the idea Keytrade Bank will offer more accessible and simpler solutions to its clients. Their new responsive website adapted for each type of devices shows clearly this intention to be more accessible. The advertising campaign has now a new message "To the daring" (or "Vive les audacieux" in French) which tries to encourage Keytrade Bank clients to invest actively their cash flow in the stock exchange via actions or in funds instead of leaving them on spare accounts which bring any way nearly no benefit due to the inflation. This message reinforce what they previously explained in videos delivered via newsletters. This message is this time spread via additional ways: billboards and the radio.
It seems this new visual identity has not made its way yet to the Keytrade Bank subsidiaries: Keytrade Bank Nederland, Keytrade Bank Lux and Strateo (Switzerland).
