Auckland, 25 October 2019 – Doing something different continues to pay off for AA Insurance. Last night the company scored a win at the Commercial Communications Council Effie Awards, this time for its ‘Live a Little Freer’ campaign.
“Taking a silver for Consumer Services, during one of the most celebrated nights on the New Zealand advertising industry calendar, is a fantastic achievement and I couldn’t be prouder of our marketing team who worked closely with our agency DDB to encapsulate the vision of the company,” says Melodie Vickars, Brand & Marketing Manager, AA Insurance. “It was also great to be recognised as a finalist for Best Strategic Thinking at Eden Park, a venue we proudly sponsor.”
“After taking home two awards last year, our team has kept up the momentum and worked hard on our second campaign with DDB. They’ve really captured what AA Insurance is all about; looking after our customers so they’re freed up to live their own lives, without worrying about insurance. Once again, we resonated with our audience by doing something a little different in our campaigns,” she says.
“If you can help lighten their load, then you’ll have people’s attention. For many, insurance is just another thing to think about - from accidents caused by weather, children, or over-zealous parking – so we’re helping take the pressure off and the response has been fantastic.”
