Allianz Real Life 40sec

Description

The 'Real Life' campaign captures the “texture and honesty” of every day life for most ordinary people.

The campaign grew from a simple insight: many insurance customers feel the need to present a polished, perfect version of themselves, especially when they’re making an insurance claim. In reality, however, life is not like that and homes get messy and destroyed, pets get injured and of course cars get damaged.

Rather than depict stylised households or showroom-ready vehicles, the Real Life campaign leans into the everyday moments that most people will recognise, the joyful, chaotic, ordinary things that rarely make it into insurance advertising. Allianz wanted to reflect the genuine decency and authenticity found in Irish homes, not a filtered version of it,

Forsman & Bodenfors partnered with production company Banjoman and filmmaker Dermot Malone to bring the idea to life. Shot on 35mm film across locations in Ireland, the visuals carry a warmth and texture that’s difficult to replicate. There’s no gloss, just a quiet, honest beauty in how people really live.

This professional campaign titled 'Real Life' was published in Ireland in July, 2025. It was created for the brand: Allianz, by ad agency: Forsman & Bodenfors. This Film medium campaign is related to the Finance and Insurance industries and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted 16 days ago by Head of Production: Brian Daly of Forsman&Bodenfors Dublin.
