FWD Life Insurance (“FWD”) unveiled its new brand campaign – “press play” – which spotlights the brand’s promise to encourage and help empower Filipinos to celebrate living. The campaign, which took off from the regional debut started by FWD Group, is now live in the Philippines across multiple media channels of FWD.
The “press play” campaign is inspired by the stories of six real-life heroes and features real moments and experiences as they navigate common themes impacting people’s day-to-day lives across Asia. Each featured paused to reflect on their lives and understand their objectives and dreams to press on reconnecting with loved ones, following their passions, taking risks, and changing careers.
One of those featured in the “press play” campaign is Pau Javier from the Philippines, who built the local pottery brand Wabi Sabi with her sister at the height of the pandemic in 2020. It started as a way for her to focus on her mental health amidst the series of lockdowns and working from home as an advertising producer. Today, she is not only successful in selling her hand-crafted ceramic wares but also is popular among local celebrities and enthusiasts for her pottery workshops.
“Pau’s experience is a good example of why we’re encouraging every Filipino to ‘press play’ on their passions and dreams,” said Roche Vandenberghe, Chief Marketing Officer of FWD Life Insurance Philippines. “Through our brand campaign, we want people to know that they can shape their own life journey as they desire. At the end of the day, the goal is to celebrate living despite challenges. This is how we hope to transform the industry by changing the way people feel about insurance.”
The campaign capitalizes on the strength of the highly recognizable “play” symbol, consistent with the FWD philosophy that insurance should be a source of empowerment to enjoy life and celebrate it with confidence. This symbol is encapsulated in campaign videos remotely filmed and produced in five locations across Asia.
