The Campaign

Manulife celebrates 110 years of fulfilling people’s dreams. Manulife launched a series of films detailing unique relationships between them and their clients. Stand up is one of those films aimed towards a younger market who aspires to fulfill their dreams.

Execution

FILM. A stand-up comic performs a stand-up routine where he muses on his struggle before his success. He tells the crowd that throughout the uncertainties and troubles, his dad was there to provide him unwavering support. Amidst all the jokes, he confesses that his performance was dedicated to his dad for staying with him until the very end.

The online film brought in: 38 Million Facebook impressions, 7.7 Million Facebook views, over ?1.2 Million in earned media, and 1,769 new sign ups in just 2 weeks after it launched.

The Situation

The campaign brought in much needed media mileage and influence necessary to change the younger market’s perception of insurance. It made the product relevant and more people became interested in signing up for one.

The Strategy

The younger market isn’t interested in insurance as they find it irrelevant for them. So, we had to change their perception. We wanted them to understand that insurance isn’t just about life insurance to be claimed after death. It could also be an investment that can help you fulfill your dreams. But first, we had to get their attention. So Manulife focused on digital, a place that the younger market frequented. The film was then filled with jokes catered to their likes and interest, making sure that everything is deeply relatable to them.
