“Newborn” captures an intimate moment between a father and his child, feeling safe and secure knowing they have the red roof hovering over them.
“Better” tells the story of a car enthusiast who gets caught in a hail storm but is able to make it out safely because he is covered by comfort and protection he receives from the roof and the support he received from his agent along the way
Description
This month, American Family Insurance is debuting the newest evolution in its “Insure carefully, dream fearlessly” platform, which has been a hallmark of American Family advertising for years. The brand refresh, titled “Life’s Better,” is a new twist on this timeless positioning which is anchored in the company’s ethos – that American Family doesn’t just provide insurance - it protects dreams. The campaign puts American Family's red roofline front and center as a visual representation of the physical protection the company provides to its dreamers. The red roof, embedded in the American Family logo, has been an unwavering symbol of protection, safety and inspiration for over 60 years. The campaign launches with two films (“Newborn” and “Better”), to be followed by a multimedia effort. It uses mixed reality and is being led by Elite Media.
This professional campaign titled 'Life's Better' was published on April 13, 2023. It was created for the brand: American Family Insurance, by ad agency: Elite Media. This Film medium campaign is related to the Finance and Insurance industries and contains 2 media assets. It was submitted about 1 year ago by President: Roy Elvove of Elvove Associates LLC.
