DDB & Goodoil create a Jurassic classic

EditorTVCs, News Make a Comment

AUCKLAND, Today: DDB is launching a new AA Insurance campaign, titled Dinosaur vs Unicorn, as part of its successful Live a Little Freer platform.

In what they describe as “a mystical clash of fantasy and reality”, the agency and client have created a campaign that “moves away from feeding the insurance fear”. 

DDB ECD Gary Steele said: “The campaign rises above product offers, and playfully communicates AA Insurance’s role in covering the things people care about, so Kiwis can live free from worry about what could go wrong. 

“The debut spot follows a juvenile T-rex as she stalks her otherworldly unicorn prey around a family home. Bumping and bashing about, the playful chase narrowly misses precious objects.


“Dinosaur vs Unicorn will roll out in 45, 30 and 60sec spots, supported by cinema, digital, radio and social.”

“Towards the end of the spot, the two characters reveal their true identity – a father and daughter living out a fantasy, embodying the idea of Living a Little Freer thanks to AA Insurance.

“The objective of Dinosaur vs Unicorn was to stray from the standard rhetoric around insurance, and act as a reminder that the best moments in life occur when you embrace the chaos and enjoy the moment, which is only possible when you know you’re insured.”

Melodie Vickars, Brand and Marketing Manager for AA Insurance, says this next wave of the Live a Little Freer campaign perfectly encapsulates the life AA Insurance is hoping to shape for its customers.

“AA Insurance is here for all New Zealanders, providing them with the cover they need to help them live their best lives. I think this campaign really communicates that,” she said.

The Dinosaur vs Unicorn tvc will roll out in 45”, 30” and 60” spots, supported by cinema, digital, radio and social.
