ANZ home loans sticks with Simon Baker

ANZ has launched another advertising campaign featuring The Mentalist actor Simon Baker.

The new commercial promoting the bank’s home loans was created by Whybin/TBWA Melbourne.

The ads feature the actor in his character Patrick Jane from the TV show The Mentalist and a couple in a furniture store.

Jane, a psychic, points out the needs for their furniture decision to be aligned with their desired home extensions, ambitions and requisite home loan.

Simon Baker has now appeared in the ANZ series since 2011 when he replaced the unhelpful bank clerk, Barbara the banker in Bankworld, which was a creation of ANZ’s former agency M&C Saatchi.

Baker has had the lead role in The Mentalist since 2008.
