ALLIANZ NOW
I developed the creative direction for AllianzNOW, a national campaign for Allianz Italia built around a simple idea: when something goes wrong, knowing what to do matters. The campaign turned insurance from an abstract promise into a practical service, showing how Allianz could guide customers through emergencies when they needed help most.
The Situation
Allianz Italia was launching AllianzNOW, a mobile service designed to guide customers step by step through emergency situations. The challenge was to make a practical digital service feel relevant and immediately useful to a mass audience, while differentiating it from the familiar language of traditional insurance advertising.
The category was dominated by familiar insurance language: protection, reassurance, peace of mind. AllianzNOW offered an opportunity to communicate something more tangible. Instead of talking about what insurance might mean in the future, the campaign could demonstrate how Allianz helps when something actually happens.
The Approach
We built the campaign around recognisable situations where people suddenly need help. The creative direction focused on the practical role of AllianzNOW, showing how the service guides customers through the next steps rather than simply promising that everything will be fine.
The Allianz agent remained central to the communication, connecting the service to the human side of the brand. Live action and graphic elements worked together to bring the digital experience into the real-world situations where it mattered, making the service feel immediate and human.
The campaign was developed across TV, digital, and radio, with each execution adapted to its medium rather than treated as a simple cut-down of the television work. The result was a consistent creative idea expressed according to the strengths of each channel.
The Impact
The campaign ran across national prime-time television in Italy, supported by digital, banner, and radio activity. The media plan gave AllianzNOW broad national visibility, with an estimated reach of approximately 50 million Italians.
Across its different formats, the campaign moved the communication from an abstract promise of protection toward a concrete demonstration of how AllianzNOW could help people in real situations. The service became the proof behind the brand promise.
For Allianz Italia, the work showed how a traditionally intangible insurance proposition could be communicated through a practical service, a clear consumer benefit, and a creative platform that could work consistently across channels.
