AUCKLAND, Today: Life insurance outfit OneChoice and FCB have unveiled two new tvcs to launch a new product to the NZ market. Titled, Silver Lining, the campaign “provocatively communicates a brighter future for those who lose a loved one”.
In a funeral setting, the two Silver Lining spots begin with the reading of a eulogy for someone who had thoughtfully arranged life insurance with OneChoice, prior to their passing. During the gushing memorial speech, the speaker explains the product benefits to the partner of the deceased who sits before them, revealing the financial security for their future.
The benefactor’s expressions of relief and excitement become the focus before the spot comes to an end.
“We knew that by injecting a small smile into an incredibly stressful time, we’d strike a chord with our audience.”
The new campaign focuses on the insight that Kiwis insure their houses, contents and cars but commonly forget to recognise their own value, which may be worth millions of dollars to family members after they are gone. The playful approach to a sensitive issue attracts the attention of New Zealanders and makes it a difficult message to ignore.
FCB ECD Tony Clewett said: “We knew that by injecting a small smile into what’s often an incredibly stressful time, that we’d strike a chord with our audience. It’s a fine line to ‘creatively’ tread, but we feel we’ve reflected that well.”
OneChoice chief marketing officer Simon Hovell said: “Our brief was very succinct— the creative had to be quirky to reflect our tone of voice, using strong talent to distinguish itself in the market. The result was two tvcs that are a balance of humour in different settings, whilst showcasing the importance of having a quality life insurance product.”
As well as TV, the integrated campaign will run across radio, print and digital platforms, encouraging people to get their life insurance sorted to protect the future of their loved ones.
