Romance is one thing but credit cards count for more according to new Barclaycard campaign from BBH

Here’s a touching tale from Barclaycard and BBH, which is not really what you expect from a credit card.

Oh well, maybe she isn’t the right girl for him after all.

Actually it’s a nice bit of proper advertising, the hallmark of BBH’s work for Barclays.

Which is why you hire a good agency, of course.

One small quibble: would thrifty Jessica fill the tank of her ancient Mini with expensive ‘super’ unleaded petrol? Splitting hairs..
