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 published as a book and sent to potential customers.

Creative Execution

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

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

We made a printed book in collaboration with a Norwegian writer.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

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.
