Animated objects save the day in insurance campaign

Australia’s NRMA Insurance has released two 60-second hero films to launch its new brand platform called ‘Until then we’ll be here’. Ad Nut is a fan of this simple, impactful brand positioning which builds on the company’s ‘Help’ platform.

In the first film called ‘Runaway’, a lone tyre rolls across cinematic scenes of the Australian landscape until it rescues a driver who is just about to meet an accident. The sheer terror on the human’s face during the climax of this film is a moment to behold.

The second film, called ‘Duel’ (see above) is a stunningly produced piece that uses dark humour to showcase a playful tussle between fire and water ahead of bushfire season. In the process, a small country home is saved as its owner obliviously boils a pot of water on the stove.

The national campaign by Bear Meets Eagle on Fire runs across cinema and television, accompanied by large-format OOH and press. View the OOH and print assets below:
