Watch T. Rowe Price “Rice”

With all this ensuing chaos, you begin to see the world for what it is: a fragile system of intermingled, hardworking, soul-filled structures. One link breaks, we’re all susceptible to decay. This staggering decline in our financial world has left companies like T. Rowe Price grappling to reassure and attract consumers uncomfortably aware of the reality of our economic plight.

Gallantly, Mate, Gerald, and their stellar teams symbolize global connectivity using the simplest ingredients: rice, and ink. The result is a visually compelling, clear message: we’re in it together, and we’re going to be OK.
