EPS | Twins | Hong Kong

Hong Kong debit card company Electronic Payment Services (EPS) has called on local DJ and standup comedian Jan Lam and his look-alike Laimaan, a drummer from a local band called RubberBand, for the latest EPS EasyCash ad.

The EasyCash service targets young spenders in Hong Kong that never have enough hours in the day. It allows users to pay and withdraw cash simultaneously in 1,200 outlets including Wellcome, Mannings, Ikea and Park n’ Shop. Ad agency Lowe Hong Kong came up with the concept of 'twins’ to illustrate the convenience of the card's dual purpose.

Ever since RubberBand's debut in 2007, Laimaan has been dubbed the long lost twin brother of Lam by the Hong Kong media. According to the production crew, the duo has created 'the perfect chemistry’ for the campaign.

Jan Lam has been endorsing EPS since 2008. EasyCash is the company's the second service campaign following a highly advertised environmental campaign called 'EPS I Do’.
