ABN AMRO, one of the Netherlands' leading financial institutions, aimed to inspire and support aspiring entrepreneurs in taking the leap to start their own businesses. While millions of Dutch individuals dream of becoming their own boss, concerns about income and stability often hold them back. To address this challenge, ABN AMRO partnered with ACE to create the Push the Button campaign—a bold initiative designed to empower budding entrepreneurs and reinforce the bank’s position as the go-to partner for every new beginning.

The insight

Research shows that over 4 million Dutch people aspire to become entrepreneurs, but concerns about securing a steady income (33%) and finding long-term stability (21%) hold many back. Starting a business is not just a financial decision; it’s a deeply personal step, driven by inspiration and determination. ABN AMRO faced the challenge of addressing these concerns while connecting with aspiring entrepreneurs on both an emotional and practical level—positioning itself as more than a financial institution, but a trusted partner in turning ambitions into reality.
