In 2021, Aspiration sought to reframe sustainable spending not as a sacrifice, but as a bold lifestyle choice. The “Green is the New Black” campaign was created to challenge the status quo of climate inaction and rebrand the climate fight as aspirational, stylish, and powerful. It asked: What if choosing sustainability wasn’t a burden—but a flex?
The campaign stemmed from the TV spot which reimagined nature not as background, but as the pinnacle of luxury. The visuals leaned into contrast and clarity: deep greens, bold shadows, and sharp typography drew the eye. Hero imagery focused on the card as an object of desire, set against the tactile beauty of nature—lush leaves, shifting light, stone and sand. Beyond TV, the campaign spanned digital and physical worlds, dominating New York City with large-scale OOH displays, subway takeovers, and building murals. The result is a quiet yet commanding reminder: the most exclusive thing you can own is a commitment to the planet.

The campaign garnered over 10 million impressions across OOH and 1.1 million TV impressions, Aspiration saw a +8% increase in daily sign-ups during the campaign's peak run—well above industry benchmarks for fintech. Perhaps more importantly, it reframed green choices not just as virtuous, but as undeniably cool.

Each series deepened engagement across its intended audiences—investors, developers, and the climate-curious public—while signaling a new creative standard in carbon communication. The result: a growing platform where trust is the currency, and transparency is the brand.
