Protecting it should be easy.
TAL is making life insurance easier and more accessible in a campaign 'Life Takes Guts – Protecting it should be easy' via Ogilvy.
"'Life Takes Guts' is about celebrating the strength Australians show every day as they face life's challenges and reinforcing that we stand with them,” said TAL chief customer and brand officer Alex Homer.
"We're here to make life insurance the easy part of building a resilient life, supporting people through life's moments and providing a safety net when needed."
The campaign will be seen across Broadcast Video on Demand (BVOD), YouTube, Out of Home (OOH) and display.
"TAL's ambition challenged us to move beyond the usual category tropes of life insurance and provided the ideal opportunity to apply an agile way of working that united specialists from across the full Ogilvy network, and within TAL,” said Ogilvy managing partner Sally Borda.
“This allowed Ogilvy and TAL to act as one team to create impactful, behaviour-changing work.”
TAL uses two categories for life insurance: Living Insurance, covering Income Protection, Critical Illness and Total and Permanent Disability benefits to support recovery after a health setback; and Life Insurance, which provides a lump sum payment if a customer passes away or is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Many younger Australians think life insurance is only about death cover, and something they don’t need to worry about until later,” according to TAL research.
However, 74% of claims TAL paid in its last financial year were Living Insurance benefits, supporting recovery after an accident or illness.
"Australians want to feel in control of their future, yet life insurance can sometimes seem complex and easy to put off," said Homer.
"We’re focused on making every customer experience easier – giving people confidence with control.
“This means accessible products they understand, great service, and above all, genuine support and care when making a claim.
“We want to start a conversation with young people and people who may not think life insurance is for them.
“When you think about losing the ability to earn an income, to pay your bills, or support your family, it’s clear this is a product of value.”
