AVIVA Happitaphs

Death.
The last great taboo. But it’s a part of all our lives. And Aviva’s Insurance business.
So how can a Life Insurance company engage with a 28-45 year old audience to talk about it, without turning them all off? Create a life-affirming competition, that’s how. Using special build DOOH poster sites we’d stop people in their tracks… And ask them how they want to be remembered…
Inviting them to offer up their own amusing epitaphs – or HAPPITAPHS – and collate/curate them under the hashtag #LeaveThemSmiling
Social Media to Drive Awareness Including a special Snapchat Lens that lets the user capture their smile and happitaph at the same time…
THE HAPPITAPH COMPETITION
#LeaveThemSmiling
