DIRECT LINE/
EVERYONE KNOWS
A simple brief for a simple but often forgotten truth - Direct Line aren’t on price comparison sites. Duh.
So to remind the youth of the world of that, we pretended everyone already knew. And made it the ultimate alibi of all time. In a radio, social & reactive campaign, we hacked loads of different genres: podcasts, rom coms, soap dramas and courtroom thrillers showing liars getting caught out in the ultimate bad alibi. How? By telling people incorrectly that they were comparing Direct Line quotes on comparison sites.
And the best part is, people started doing it themselves.
Someone even trolled Rishi Sunak with it. Ha.
Long copy ads, hypnotising people into booking trips.
This was spec to fill free media (in 24 hours flat) and it created quite a fun debate on LinkedIn. Long copy - dead or not? Whatever. It was fun to write. No budget for awards on this one but my mum loved it, which is all that matters.
