From Financial Freedom to Creative Freedom – Ally Bank

Everyone celebrates creative success, but few talk about what it actually costs to get there. With Ally Bank, we created What It Cost Me, an original editorial series exploring the financial realities behind building a career in culture. Through intimate profiles of fashion entrepreneurs Keith Herron, Jane Wade and Marcus Allen, we revealed the risks, sacrifices and financial decisions behind creative independence. By connecting money management to the ambitions of a new generation of cultural entrepreneurs, we gave Ally a compelling role in a conversation traditional financial advertising rarely enters: not just what you want to achieve, but what it takes to make it happen.
