Organised by Hong Kong's leading marketing magazine MARKETING-INTERACTIVE, Spark Awards honour media and advertising campaigns with outstanding performance over the past year. TVB was crowned "Media of the Year" for the first time, making it the highlight of the event.

HSBC's 160th Anniversary campaign, leveraging TVB's news archives, blended heritage with authentic storytelling, resonating deeply with audiences. The PayMe CNY campaign, on the other hand transformed the tradition of "giving lai see" into a city-wide event via TVB's live broadcasts, achieving large-scale digital engagement at home during the festive season.

The HSBC Queen of Finance campaign, featuring TVB actress Charmaine Sheh, turned complex financial topics into relatable narratives through a four-part video series on TVB's Scoop. It garnered 5.6 million views in the Greater Bay Area, drove a five-year high in customer acquisition, and generated HK$4.2 million in earned media value, positioning HSBC as a trusted life partner.

Standard Chartered Bank's award-winning "Le Grand Tour de Osaka" campaign, which ran from December 2023 to November 2024, positioned the bank as the ultimate travel companion for affluent and high-net-worth customers. Backed by its Hong Kong Affluent Travel Study 2024, which revealed this segment's appetite for premium experiences and frequent travel, the bank partnered with Cathay Pacific to offer over 400 clients exclusive chartered flights to Taipei and Osaka. In collaboration with TVB, the campaign produced "Le Grand Tour de Taipei/ Osaka"—a 120‑minute celebrity‑fronted travel documentary featuring Priscilla Wong and Samantha Ko—which extended its reach across the Greater Bay Area, driving growth in new-to-bank customers and Asia Miles Time Deposit accounts while redefining the concept of travel banking.
