Post-2022 retreat — Citi Taiwan is now wholesale-only (ICG / TTS / Markets / Banking / Securities Services). Consumer brand marketing has effectively ended in TW following the Aug 2023 DBS migration completion. Remaining marketing is B2B: thought leadership at industry events, sponsorships (Asia Pacific Treasury Forum, fintech events), private-banking client experiences. TW spend has collapsed from consumer-bank-tier (estimated NT$200-300M previously) to B2B-corporate-comms-tier (likely <NT$30M). Global creative anchor remains Publicis Le Truc. Citi TW is no longer in the same conversation as HSBC TW or DBS TW for advertising spend.

Intel wedges
6 of 8 wedges corroborated. Research confidence: high on Citi TW consumer exit to DBS (well-documented public deal). High on global CMO Alex Craddock and 'For The Love of Progress' Publicis Le Truc creative. Medium on current global media holder..
Recommended posture
Pitch now.
DOWNGRADE CITI: not a meaningful TW consumer advertiser anymore — most pitch resources should go to DBS Taiwan instead (which inherited the consumer business and the brand-marketing budget)
