David Bowie's anthemic "Heroes" has been licensed for Westpac's brand new campaign celebrating 200 years.

The visually stunning spot features a series of Australians in testing moments and the triumphant acts of courage that follow.

"Heroes" has been rerecorded for the Westpac advert specifically, receiving a moving rendition by fellow UMPG Australia signee's Gang of Youths.
