Newcastle Permanent is a choice your head and heart can agree on in a campaign via indie agency Enigma.  

The campaign is directed by Plaza Films’ Paul Middleditch. 

“As a mutual bank with 120 years of heritage in local communities, it would be fair to say that Newcastle Permanent has long appealed to people’s hearts,” said NGM Group chief customer and digital innovation officer, James Cudmore. 

“But with competitive rates and award-winning service we have all the qualities that even the most discerning head is looking for in a bank.  

“This new advertising platform captures this brilliantly and in a way that is very Newcastle Permanent. And with new distinctive brand assets and a comprehensive campaign playbook, we have everything we need to roll out campaigns effectively and efficiently for years to come.”  

Head and Heart Approved is a fully integrated platform, rolling out across TV, OOH, radio, and digital media. 

“Here for Good is one of those taglines that sits firmly in the ‘I wish I’d come up with that’ drawer in my brain,” said Enigma CCO Simon Lee.  

“So it’s been a great privilege to help bring fresh meaning to it with an unignorable creative platform that has everything required to shift the dial right the way through the funnel.   

“A huge THANK YOU to the Newcastle Permanent team for your trust and the spirit of partnership with which we’ve brought this into the world together.”
