HSBC, Invest in Red
Turning a brand colour into an investment product
D&AD challenged us to make HSBC own Pantone 1795C globally.
Instead of making red more visible, we made it useful. The 1795C Red Bond lets people invest in HSBC’s red, funding overlooked startups, charities and impact projects. As investment grows, red spreads across a global map, proving ownership through what the colour does.
