Massmutual
Bringing a TV spot to life on social through real life simulation.
OVERVIEW
Enough losing sleep over finances.
​
We launched a subversive social campaign that reinvented Mass Mutual's "Not Trending" :30 script - bringing to life a financially stressed father through a short-from, platform-native execution on TikTok and IG Reels.
This addition opened their audience to connecting authentically around this uncomfortable truth and positioned MassMutual as the solution. ​
BRINGING SLEEPLESS PAPA TO LIFE
Sleepless Papa came to life across TikTok and Instagram with 17 delirious videos.
Posted videos of a millennial father learning how to use social media for the first time at 2am.
Brand engagement and duetting to position MassMutual as a savior for his woes.
