Standard Chartered launches new global brand campaign, ‘Move Ahead’

Singapore, 28 September 2026 – Standard Chartered today announced the launch of ‘Move Ahead’, a new global brand campaign inspired by its Formula 1® partnership and the shared belief that success is built long before the defining moment arrives. Building on the Bank’s global brand platform ‘Now Is Your Time’, the campaign reflects how Standard Chartered helps clients turn ambition into progress and capture growth opportunities across the world’s most dynamic markets. 

Inspired by the precision and preparation behind Formula 1®, ‘Move Ahead’ showcases how sustained performance turns opportunity into results. In a sport where success is rarely determined by a single overtake or lap, victory is earned through thousands of decisions, rigorous preparation and the ability to perform when it matters most.  

This reflects how Standard Chartered partners with its clients to support their ambitions, whether they are expanding internationally, growing and protecting their wealth, investing for the future or managing risk in an increasingly complex world. By combining its international network, local market knowledge and deep expertise, the Bank connects clients to opportunities and helps them move ahead with confidence. 

The campaign was developed through a blend of human creativity, strategic direction and AI-enabled production, bringing a distinctive Formula 1®-inspired world to life. This approach enabled the creative team to produce visual experiences and perspectives that would otherwise have been difficult to film during the racing season. 

Sarah Hagan, Global Co-Head, Corporate Affairs, Brand and Marketing, said: “Move Ahead is a powerful expression of what our brand stands for. Success is rarely defined by a single moment; it comes from preparation, insight and the confidence to act when opportunity emerges. That same belief shapes how we help our clients achieve their ambitions across the world’s most dynamic markets. Our partnership with Formula 1® gives us a distinctive platform to bring that story to life. By combining creativity, craft and new production techniques, we’ve created a campaign that feels globally relevant and unmistakably Standard Chartered.” 

Eva Ang, Global Co-Head, Corporate Affairs, Brand and Marketing, added: “Move Ahead brings together the strength of our international network with the reach and impact of our Formula 1® partnership. It draws on the precision, teamwork and relentless pursuit of performance that define the sport and connects them to how we help our clients succeed. This gives us a compelling global platform to demonstrate the value of our network and expertise, deepen our relevance with clients and tell a distinctive Standard Chartered story.” 

The campaign will roll out globally across digital, social and owned channels from September 2026.
