What's the worst that could happen?

How we turned car insurance into a three-part comedy campaign.

01 · The brief

Make 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 outcome

A 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 approach

Three 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.
