How we turned car insurance into a three-part comedy campaign.
01 · The briefMake temporary insurance memorable
Tempcover wanted people borrowing a car to remember that they could be insured in minutes and protect the owner's no-claims bonus.
03 · The outcomeA campaign with a recurring joke
Three 30-second adverts that land the product message and a punchline people remember. Shared across online, digital and social channels.
02 · Our approachThree set-ups, one punchline
Each advert sets up a different borrowing scenario, a test drive, a weekend away and a dad lending his car, and ends with the same line and an unexpected giant hedgehog.
