This brilliant advertisement for Travelers Insurance recently appeared on Inc Magazine’s back cover.
The tagline is “Just when you’ve prepared for a million-and-one insurance risks, in walks a million-and-two.” In case the picture of the ad isn’t clear, a ceiling fan business is about to be visited by an abnormally tall customer. I really love the visual foreshadowing and the strong emotional reaction accompanying the viewer’s realization of the horrific fate that lies in store [literally]. The absurdity of the situation and the clever tagline add a healthy dose of humor as well that makes the ad a memorable one. Love it!
Travelers Insurance has some of the best insurance ads i’ve seen. Check out their Sony Bravia Rolling Ball Parody, their Rabbit Foot Reattachment Ad and their more recent Risk Never Sleeps Ad.
