NORTHBROOK, Ill., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For the first time The
Allstate Corporation is introducing a national campaign focusing on the
company's transformation to a financial services provider. Featuring the
perennial Beatles song "When I'm Sixty-Four", the advertising inspires viewers
to imagine what their retirement will be like, when they're 64.
As a provider of property and casualty products for more than 70 years,
Allstate has been well known for protecting consumers. The new advertising
communicates that Allstate offers even more than insurance -- that Americans
can rely on Allstate for retirement solutions and financial products as well.
These commercials will feature singer and songwriter, Julian Lennon, who
has never previously recorded a Beatles song, singing his rendition of the
classic Beatles hit. Allstate is one of only a handful of companies ever to
gain the rights to use a Beatles song for commercial purposes.
"The ad campaign strengthens the link between Allstate's reputation as a
trustworthy insurer to that of a provider of retirement solutions and
financial products," said Jill Weaver, vice president, brand strategy and
marketing communications, Allstate Insurance Company. "Many individuals are
unaware that they can purchase mutual funds or annuities and enroll in IRA's
through us to assist them as they plan for a secure financial retirement. The
campaign clearly communicates that message to the largest population segment
in history, the Baby Boomers."
The "When I'm Sixty-Four" commercials both raise awareness of Allstate's
position in the retirement industry as well as provide information on specific
products. The commercials are part of Allstate's new "The Right Hands Make
All the Difference"(SM) campaign.
The "Right Hands" umbrella campaign focuses on Allstate having the "right
hands" to provide products and services that make a difference in consumers'
lives.
Additional "Right Hands" ads will feature the hands of athletes and other
famous or notable individuals, including Olympians Brian Boitano, Dan Jansen
and Bonnie Blair. Subsequent ads will feature Mario Andretti, Joe Montana,
Jerry Rice, Ann Lai (inventor and winner of multiple science awards) and Vice
Admiral Tony Less of the Blue Angels.
The TV and radio advertisements were developed by Leo Burnett USA,
Allstate's advertising agency of record for the past 44 years.
