Singapore, 25 October 2007 - NTUC Income has engaged JCDecaux’s Streetside platform to promote and raise awareness of its new insurance plan – revosave. Breaking on 17th October, 110 JCDecaux bus shelter panels will be flanked with revosave posters, featuring a tongue-in-cheek headline which says, “Save for a rainy day, but enjoy all the sunny ones too”.
Passers-by will be especially drawn to the specially built three-dimensional umbrellas that extend upwards from the panels located at 5 different locations in the suburbs. This special execution boosts efforts to increase product and brand awareness. The rationale behind this “giant” umbrella design is not only to seize attention but also evoke a legitimate concern towards one’s personal financial security. The ad also hopes to spur the masses to reflect on their lifestyle and savings manner, and think of revosave as their support in the event of a “rainy day”.
Revosave insurance plan calls for people who believe in long-term savings yet desire the flexibility to enjoy life at present. The campaign targets consumers aged 24 to 35 years old, particularly educated individuals, PMEBs and those in the technical profession.
Lynette Ang, Marketing Director at NTUC Income, explains why JCDecaux’s Streetside network was chosen as the outdoor advertising channel, “revosave is a unique all-in-one insurance plan that takes care of your savings, investment, insurance and spending needs. We hope this good news reaches as many target audience as possible in a creative and intriguing manner that will excite them to find out more about this revolutionary plan. JCDecaux’s strong Bus Shelters presence in the City and major townships naturally made it the choice platform to showcase the three-dimensional umbrellas.”
The campaign, which runs for four weeks, is also seen on other ATL medium such as print and radio. DDB handled the creatives while media duties were booked directly with JCDecaux.
“JCDecaux is excited to be the Outdoor Media for this campaign, to ensure NTUC Income reaches its intended audience group 24 hours a day, building rapid awareness for its new product with this eye-grabbing and memorable campaign. It certainly adds a fun twist to the streetscape”, adds Elise Yan, Marketing and Research Executive, JCDecaux Singapore.
