About the Work
NRMA Insurance is a part of one of the largest insurance networks in Australia and New Zealand. Over one in three people in NSW have policies with the company. NRMA is a part of Insurance Australia Group, the leading insurance network in Australia and New Zealand. NRMA offers a wide range of insurance solutions across automotive, home and more.
Runaway tells the story of a lone tyre, magically propelling itself through the Australian landscape until it arrives on the scene to prevent a driver having a head on collision.
Duel, a playful tussle between fire and water, imagines a world where a rural paddock extinguishes flames before they can catch hold to threaten a small, rural home.
The campaign came with a clear challenge- to breathe fresh meaning and resonance into the brands positioning of ‘Help’ for NRMA Insurance, and to open up a more imaginative and differentiated world of storytelling for the brand, which is an Australian insurance giant.
The spots were a huge departure from NRMA Insurance’s previous offerings, and from work in the sector in general. With an emphasis on magical realism, the films follow two unlikely heroes- one being a tyre on a cross country mission to replace someone’s tyre at the moment of it bursting, and jets of water that spontaneously put out equally spontaneous bursts of flame that threaten a country home.
Both films had magical realism at the core, and as a result, strayed from pushing the work into overtly fantasy tropes.
