How to stand out in the glut of life insurance offers targeting serious illnesses while not scaring customers to death?
Communication based on lightness of tone and optimism makes it easier to present life insurance as a natural part of a young family’s active life. Boomerang’s strategy was founded on a positive attitude towards negative things like death or very serious illness. The light-hearted take on life insurance, where the dynamism of a young family is offset by a sense of peace and “better safe than sorry”, came out of the uniqueness of the brand. That is why verbal and visual ambiguities formed the basis of our concept. Expressions like ‘kick the bucket’, ‘have a seizure’, ‘go downhill’ and ‘rest in peace’ gave rise to an emotional style that did not overshadow the rational appeal to take out insurance. That’s why the main message for us was: ‘THINK POSITIVELY’, with a subtle call to action: ‘But TO BE SURE use FLEXI’.
