Role Group Creative Director
Agency Monks

           Capital One isn’t just a bank, it’s a technology leader. And while people in the know think of them as an innovative bank, they don’t yet see them as an innovator, period. We took over AWS Reinvent to take a big, Vegas-sized first step towards establishing the credibility of their tech stack with a campaign that connected the complex dots between the tech work Capital One’s technologists often do, unseen, and the impact of it that their customers can see and feel in the world.






133% Increase in brand perception as a tech leader
100% more memorable than Google, with 3rd highest recall overall 
50% higher consideration of Capital One as a potential employer from those already aware of the brand
