Leading payments provider Klarna demonstrates how its ‘Pay later’ products save consumers from future online shopping fails
LONDON 4 SEPT: Klarna, the leading global innovator of Pay later services and banking, and provider of smoooth retail services, presents its international campaign – ‘I wish I’d bought it with Klarna’ – together with actress, comedian and internet sensation, Celeste Barber.
Inspired by home-shopping TV shows, the campaign features an online mini-series with Barber, as the theatrical host, alongside her assistant. In three 60-second videos, Barber addresses some unfortunate shopping fails in her infamous comic fashion – from miniature garden furniture to Sue Ellen’s woeful hair curler – giving shoppers a much needed reality check to Pay later with Klarna.
The ‘I wish I’d bought it with Klarna’ campaign emphasises a smarter and more convenient shopping attitude with Klarna’s Pay later services. Revolutionising the payments experience and allowing shoppers to ‘try before they buy’, it entitles shoppers to only pay when they are happy with their purchase. By putting the customer in total control, Klarna is empowering consumers and giving them freedom to flexibly manage their purchases and finances to personally suit them.
The series of 60-second films will run on Klarna and Celeste Barber’s Instagram and Youtube channels from the 4th September, with shorter versions and bespoke 6-second clips running as placements in countries including the UK, US, the Netherlands, Germany and Sweden.
A partnership with Refinery29 in the UK and US, will serve bespoke assets featuring Celeste Barber across their Instagram channels to sync with the campaign launch – adding additional scale and cultural impact to the campaign.
David Sandstrom, Chief Marketing Officer at Klarna, said: “Klarna prides itself on being both innovative and smoooth, and our campaign with Celeste Barber couldn’t be a more perfect collaboration to present payment empowerment and the convenience of our Pay Later products to consumers. Celeste brilliantly captures the message of Pay later and playfully demonstrates how shopping with Klarna can empower any buyer to shop confidently. It’s fun, quirky but most of all it makes us smile, and we’re excited to see how this resonates amongst consumers”.

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
