The general message from this ad is that Citibank credit card is the safest credit card to have out there with the risks that people face in the current financial world.

The graphics and simple texts allow for the ad to reach people of all different backgrounds and education levels. The colors and background of the ad are attention grabbing and mezmorizing.
