Allstate Aims at Boomers With First Finance Ads

Allstate’s first campaign to push its financial services targets baby boomers pondering retirement. TV spots from Leo Burnett use the Beatles tune, “When I’m Sixty-Four.”

“Our focus is on communicating that we are now a financial-services provider with a focus on retirement,” said Jill Weaver, Allstate’s vp of brand strategy. “It’s about our transformation.”

Backed by a version of “When I’m Sixty-Four” sung by Julian Lennon, the first spot depicts a family going through various stages of life—from newlyweds to nuclear family to retirement.
