Using an unsupervised video embedding metho d\, we find that banks consistently build their images around one of three dimensions: pricing advantages\, superior service quality\, and a trustwo rthy\, life-aspirational focus. Banks with strong local market shares emph asize service and life aspirations. Banks generally truthfully advertise p ricing and service advantages but rely on emotional appeals when lacking t hese advantages. They also tailor their images to local demographics\, inc reasing minority representation in targeted areas. Using a border disconti nuity design\, we show that advertising intensity and style significantly affect deposit quantities and spreads\, a factor that becomes especially i mportant during monetary policy transmission. These findings suggest that banks build images to strengthen their market positions and boost franchis e value.\n DTSTART:20250328T143000Z DTEND:20250328T154500Z LOCATION:Room 245\, Bronfman Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1G5\, 1001 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Desmarais Global Finance Research Centre (DGFRC) Seminar: Song Ma URL:/desautels/channels/event/desmarais-global-finance -research-centre-dgfrc-seminar-song-ma-364329 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
