how the campaign was executed

  • With mCanvas’ interactive rich media, leveraging the interstitial ad format

  • The ad incorporated dynamic graphics, captivating audio-visuals, and gyroscopic motion + screen touch sensors for an immersive experience.

  • Through an interactive surfing game, the strategy intertwined insurance with life's challenges, highlighting the brand promises of stability, protection, and assurance.

execution

  • Users were drawn into the ad journey with a surfer-themed interstitial, enticing them to get 'ready to embrace ups & downs.' Then, they were prompted to crank up the volume for an immersive oceanic experience.

  • Once done, users were asked to tilt their phones left or right to navigate obstacles, transforming their screens into a high-adrenaline surfing race-course.

  • Throughout the 15-second gamified adventure, they had to dodge rocks and barrels to avoid crashing, for a smooth journey. Based on their skills, users got tailored outcomes, either reaching the flag at the finish line or learning from a crash. 

  • The ad seamlessly concluded with visuals showcasing brand offerings and a compelling CTA: 'Get Insured' to explore insurance products on the landing page.
