Bargain Regret

Cautionary tales of choosing cheap insurance

By sowing the seeds of doubt in undercutting competitors, we were able to dramatically increase AAMI consideration rates, and score both Australian and APAC Effies. This integrated 360° campaign was executed across TVC, OOH (over 300 sites nationwide including special builds), digital, radio and social.

Then, after a year of stealing marketshare, we pulled off an SEO heist…

Targeting anyone searching for our main competitor ‘Budget Direct’ (that juusstttt so happens to sound like our campaign name!) with some cheeky paid search ads which redirected them straight to the AAMI website, leading to a 200% increase in site visits.

And we had some fun in radio too. Didn’t we Bruno?
