CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
This is Banking a Fifth Third better. That’s the idea behind the new advertising campaign from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:FITB) launching this week. The campaign plays on the improper fraction that is the Bank’s name. As a fraction, 5/3 translates to more than 100 percent -- 166.7 percent, to be exact -- and going the extra mile to help customers reach their financial goals.

It is more than just a number; it is about what we do every day.”
The advertising campaign will launch with a series of high-impact TV commercials and digital ads, radio, social, experiential marketing activations across the Bank’s 10-state footprint beginning Wednesday, May 3.
