Reliance Life Insurance latest creative campaign "Reliance Life Line' has made it to the prestigious sixth edition of "THE WORK 07" with its winning entry 'Reliance Life Line'.
The creative campaign conceived by Samrat Sudhakar Rane and Shounak Guhatakurta from JWT Mumbai, has successfully communicated the thin line that separates life and the need for insurance. Rather than operate on the done-to-death emotional appeal format, the effort was to take the brand to the open and leave it to the TG to decipher the true nature of how a category like insurance works.
Commenting on this development, JWT national creative director Agnello Dias said "We feel great pride in the sense that our creative campaign has made it to 'The Work 07'. During 2006 JWT won total seven entries and this year we are expecting our new campaign to evince keen interest and generate keen interest amongst the judges.

Implementation: The setting was aptly the suburban railway system of Mumbai which doubles up as the city's lifeline and transports about 2.7 million commuters everyday offering a great deal of visibility. The idea was in really establishing life and insurance as the thin cautionary platform line that keeps the commuters a safe distance away from the tracks. It spelled out the product benefit and seamlessly reinforced the Reliance Insurance's continuing amity with risk. With the frequency of the rail-related accidents going up every year, the commuters are adequately sensitized about the vagaries of being 'too close' to the tracks. And here, the brand message was too hard to miss.
Results: The success of this piece of communication was in the way the message was delivered by presenting danger / risk upfront in an everyday environment. Moreover its mass reach,
