 es how banks strategically craft their images for customers using over a d
 ecade of TV commercial videos. Using an unsupervised video embedding metho
 d\, we find that banks consistently build their images around one of three
  dimensions: pricing advantages\, superior service quality\, and a trustwo
 rthy\, life-aspirational focus. Banks with strong local market shares emph
 asize service and life aspirations. Banks generally truthfully advertise p
 ricing and service advantages but rely on emotional appeals when lacking t
 hese advantages. They also tailor their images to local demographics\, inc
 reasing minority representation in targeted areas. Using a border disconti
 nuity design\, we show that advertising intensity and style significantly 
 affect deposit quantities and spreads\, a factor that becomes especially i
 mportant during monetary policy transmission. These findings suggest that 
 banks build images to strengthen their market positions and boost franchis
 e value.\n
