Binge-watch DBS Sparks mini-series (Deliveroo Giveaway)

Last week I discovered Sparks, by DBS, is an industry-first mini-series that follows a group of young bankers as they navigate work and personal lives. Inspired by true stories, they challenge the status quo to go above and beyond when solving unusual client challenges. Through this mini-series, DBS hopes to convey the true meaning of banking, and to challenge the perception that banking is only about transactions.

This reflects the bank’s commitment to understand what matters in life, and integrate banking seamlessly with everyday living. DBS believes in going the extra mile for customers so that they can achieve their dreams and get more out of life. To make things happen, while leaving them with time and space to do what matters the most.

DBS continues to embrace innovation and digital banking, reinventing our branding and marketing strategy to create content that sparks conversations and meaningful experiences, speaking to our customers in a genuine and relatable manner. As we continuously look to redefine banking, Sparks is one of our ways of disrupting the industry via digitally oriented content marketing.

To be honest, I wasn’t really interested in it at first because who wants to watch a show about bankers, right? This coming from me, who works in finance, which is in the same industry. 😅

But when I started it, I was surprised to find that it’s actually interesting. The actors are pretty good (professional ones from Hong Kong and Singapore), the soundtrack is on point, and the stories are heartwarming. I ended up binge-watching all available 6 episodes in one night. Most of the episodes were less than 10 minutes, so it was pretty easy to do.

Click here to watch all episodes of Sparks, or watch them below:

Episode 1: In this pilot, Claire Lee, a relationship manager, is introduced to cocky, Oxford-educated Jasper Wu, her new colleague. Sparks fly when they meet. A reluctant Claire is asked to show Jasper around, and then to visit a potential client together.

Episode 2: A potential client, Lindsay, is in a predicament. Claire and Jasper get to know each other a little better, and evaluate Lindsay’s plan with the rest of the team. Will they manage to successfully solve Lindsay’s issue?

Episode 3: The team manages to help Lindsay secure her loan, but an unforeseen development throws them off and tests them further. The young bankers hatch a plan to solve the new issue, but with a big player in the way, will they be able to win over their community?

Episode 4: A new boss and an old acquaintance set Team DBS on a new mission. When an unexpected situation tests their mettle, they must dig deep and find their worth.

Episode 5: An impossible decision threatens to tear the bankers apart. And in their quest for the ultimate solution, they found something more valuable than they ever imagined.

Episode 6: The bankers embark on an incredible journey. Together, they challenge traditions and work to change the future of an entire village. Will they prevail?

What made it even more interesting, however, was the food that I ordered from Deliveroo so I could eat while binge-watching. Napolizz pizza and lava cake was so delicious!
