The website subtly displays the support from the Commonwealth Bank to the Australian cricket team & highlights the committment to the community through sponsorship & creation of such charitable causes like cerebal palsy alliance - a disability service & the Clown Doctors which is a charity organisation. The community interest & investment will help align Commbank with a psychological benefit for customers, resulting in an increased feeling of self-esteem as being involved with such a community orientated finance organisation. This strongly correlates to increased corporate brand awareness.

It also empowers this target segment by enabling them to have information at their fingertips & focus on relevant component sof this communication strategy allowing Commbank to 'lead' their customers.
