Barclays have released a new advert for 2021 titled “Learn with Barclays LifeSkills” which invites viewers to get help mastering their Moneyverse. The ad follows on from their “Out of Space” campaign.
In the ad we see Olivia, a young woman being told by her hamster about the Barclays LifeSkills programme. The hamster invites her to join the 13 million people who have used the scheme to help with their money management.
The ad concludes with the youngster magically controlling her cards and money and taking control over her whole room which then disintegrates in to her “Moneyverse”.
