The Campaign

We sent the whole legal text to one of Norways most famous writers - Erlend Loe - and challenged him to use the exact same letters to write a short story. The legal text was transformed into a story about love, loneliness, vulnerability - and a horny dog called Virlaval. The short story was published online, as an audio book and as a book sent to potential customers.

Creative Execution

The project appeared on TVCs, on social media and on own platforms (webpage, crm). The book was then sent home to potential customers.

Results

Total sales of insurance went up by 41% compared to a comparable similar period.

We made a book and sent it to potential customers

The strategy was to tell the target audience that DNB has made insurance simple. The Coverage Guarantee© is so good, you can read a book instead of reading the legal text. We made a TVC that told about the project. Everyone could read the story online, and potential customers were sent the printed book.
