The Hexes: A celebration of creativity
Celebrating the best in creativity, innovation and ambition in HSBC.
At HSBC, we’re proud of our global creative community. They’re the people who bring new ideas, new stories and new perspectives to our brand. They’re the teams that help us reach new customers and strengthen bonds with old ones, opening up a world of opportunity wherever they are in the world. And because collaboration across continents and cultures is what makes us tick, we strongly believe our creatives’ work should be shared and celebrated together. Because we succeed together. Welcome to The Hexes.
What are the Hexes?
The Hexes are our way of celebrating the best in creativity, innovation and ambition in HSBC, both internal and external. These awards don’t just acknowledge the great thinking that builds a stronger and more consistent brand, they inspire us all to think bigger, better and bolder in everything we do.
