Banks have spent years quietly closing their safe-deposit vaults. CitySafes has done the opposite: now Denmark’s largest safe-box provider, it took over old bank vaults — including former Danske Bank ones — and reopened them as a consumer service from 99 kr. a month. Its summer 2026 campaign reframes the box around the holiday season: thieves don’t take holidays, gold prices have jumped, accidents happen, and hiding places quietly become forgetting places — so lock away the jewellery and the irreplaceable papers, and travel with your mind at ease.
It is an old, written-off product repositioned around a present-day feeling. Nothing about the vault itself is new; what changed is the story — from dusty bank formality to “enjoy your holiday without worrying.” The signal: there is growth in taking something the incumbents are abandoning and re-wrapping it around an anxiety customers actually have right now.
So…:
What overlooked or abandoned product could you re-wrap around a feeling people have today?
