Itaú Uniclass Inspires Customers to Reach Their Goals with Sylvester Stallone and Marcos Mion

Itaú Uniclass, the premium segment of Itaú Unibanco, has launched a new positioning campaign that aims to motivate its customers to achieve their dreams and aspirations. The campaign features a film starring Brazilian presenter Marcos Mion and his idol, Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone.

The film, created by GALERIA.ag, shows Mion climbing the famous steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where Stallone filmed one of the most iconic scenes of his Rocky Balboa character. As Mion reaches the top, he is surprised by Stallone, who gives him a pep talk and encourages him to keep going.

The film is based on the idea that Itaú Uniclass is the bank that supports its customers throughout their journey of growth and success. The bank offers personalized solutions, such as credit lines, investment advice, exclusive benefits, and a team of dedicated managers and specialists.

The campaign includes outdoor media, digital activations, and social media content. One of the highlights is a special piece designed by Vitrine, GALERIA.ag's business hub, specializing in outdoor media, that transforms a staircase into a symbol of achievement.

The campaign reflects Itaú Uniclass's commitment to its customers and its vision of being a bank that helps them reach their goals. As Eduardo Tracanella, CMO of Itaú Unibanco, says: "The brand Itaú Uniclass is very strong and has built, over time, a deep identification with our clients. With the development of our value proposition, the opportunity of telling an awe-inspiring and contemporaneous story about the new Itaú Uniclass became crystal clear."

The film has already received positive feedback from the public and the media. Mion shared his excitement about working with Stallone on his Instagram account, where he has over 20 million followers. He said: "I can't believe I'm living this moment. I'm speechless. Thank you, Itaú Uniclass, for making this dream come true."

Stallone also expressed his admiration for Mion and his enthusiasm for the campaign. He said, "Marcos is a great, talented, and charismatic guy. I'm glad to be part of this project with him and Itaú Uniclass. It's a message that resonates with me and with everyone who has a dream."

The campaign is expected to run until the year's end and reach millions across Brazil. It is part of Itaú Uniclass's strategy to strengthen its customer relationship and position itself as a bank that inspires them to make it to the top.
