The Brief
DELA is a funeral insurance company, that believes in a beautiful ending. This means caring for loved ones, even after one’s passing. Their target audience is people who think long term, and have experienced love and loss. They understand the significance of securing the future, but also the importance of living for today.
Creative Execution
We created a website, where couples could not only express their love for each other,
but document their entire lives together and share it in a unique way. By connecting with Facebook, our website automatically linked partner’s profiles and instantly turned both persons into animated characters. It then took all shared life events from their profiles and stitched the film together.
Countless graphical variations made sure every film was both realistic and autobiographical, while the personalization was optimized in multiple ways: From using textual references to realistic physical features like skin tone, hair color and even hair style.
Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.
We looked for a way to communicate these brand values in an innovative way. And to not just focus on ‘the ending’, but focus on the story that precedes it. Because DELA also believes in the beauty of life. As life is beautiful, by sharing it with your loved ones.
And sharing these experiences is what people like to do. Many notable moments are documented digitally and shared online. We took this insight and utilized the same social media to enable people to share both their story as well as DELA’s brand message, with their loved ones.
