C. Ronaldo is the face of a new BES campaign (portuguese bank)

Earlier this week, BES launched their new advertising campaign in Portugal and Spain, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo as the main actor. In the video, the Portuguese private bank focus on Cristiano Ronaldo's path to success, by sending an encouraging and inspirational message to promote some of the bank's financial products.

Cristiano Ronaldo extended his partnership with the Portuguese bank, BES (Banco Espírito Santo), being once again the face of a new video campaign that targets thePortuguese and Spanish markets. Undoubtedly one of the biggest icons of his home country, Ronaldo embodies everything BES intends to pass in their message: positivism, self-trust and believing in yourself. You can watch the Portuguese video version below, as well as the full speech translation to English.

Cristiano Ronaldo BES video campaign (2012) - "Invest in yourself":

Video message translated:
"It doesn't matter if you're young or old, or if you have much or less. It doesn't matter where you come from, but rather where you're going to. In your life, there is a moment... a moment where you realize that this is your life and that you can change it. A moment where you decide you can hold the future in your own hands and make it yours. Embrace that moment and make the best of it. Make your own path, believe in yourself and in your potential, because there will be a day where you decide to change your life. BES can't decide everyone's fate, but can give you a safe place to start." Cristiano Ronaldo: "Invest in yourself!"

Cristiano Ronaldo and BES partnership goes back to 2003, when the Portugueseplayer was giving his first steps as a professional football player and was still far from getting the celebrity status he has in the current days. On this short video ad, BESattempts to show the importance of positive thinking and always believe in your own capabilities, in a parallelism with Cristiano Ronaldo success life story. The implied message is that saving your money in BES is doing the smart thing, since you will be investing in your future.
