The challenge
Colombians cared far more about soap opera characters than about insuring their own lives.
The idea
Built into the series Darío Gómez: El Rey del Despecho, the promotion let viewers pick a character and cover them against accident, illness or death using real products. If the storyline triggered the insured event, the policyholder went into a draw for a payout, and every interaction captured first-party data.
Results
- Qualified leads rose 434%
- US$121M in insurance sales attributed
- 358,000 active participants
