Insurance: a confusing thing that you’d rather not think about…unless you’re measuring the amount of money it drains from your bank account every month.
Farmers Insurance wants to make the process a little less painful with the help of RPA, which produced this new TV campaign and an interactive website to help customers identify those potentially disastrous blind spots in their coverage.
In the first of two ads helmed by Craig Gillespie — better known as director of the Gosling vehicle Lars and the Real Girl — the dad from Juno helps demonstrate the difference between the world we’d like to live in and the one we wake up to every day:
Another one after the jump.
The second, shorter spot plays on the same theme while reminding us that the West Coast really does have better beaches:
You won’t be surprised to learn that this will be an extensive, multimedia campaign that will feature “custom editorial content” launched “on a rolling basis” via names like The New York Times, MSNBC, USA Today and, yes, the NFL.
RPA and digital agency Stopp LA will also work on “a video feature channel, ‘Coverage Gaps,’ on NFL.com that will present big plays from the week that resulted from exploited gaps in the opponents line.”
We like.
