GIO ad campaign focuses on ‘details’
GIO has launched its first major ad campaign since appointing Leo Burnett to the account in May, led by the brand proposition ‘We Cover Details’.
Michael Cook, executive manager, GIO marketing said the animated ads which uses poetic language, aims to capture “the mindset of our customers and our approach to insurance”.
Leo Burnett executive creative director, Andy Dilallo added: “To give GIO a unique, identifiable presence in a cluttered product category, we have created a world of charming, meticulous-natured animated characters.”
Swedish animators Against All Odds also worked in collaboration with Melbourne-based production company XYZ Studios to create the new visual style.
Cute-ish ad – but where’s the extension of the proposition onto the website?

Does there always need to be one?
Clinton, you are a tool!
It’s people like you who necessitates saturating ads with disclaimers. Get a life and google web addresses like everyone else in the world.
Great ad, top level animation and oh, make the logo 10% bigger for Clinton!
So you see children, it is possible to make an ad for a large financial services company that is enaging, relevant and with a singular brand proposition.
Adjusting the GIO logo on the mantlepiece is a bit twee! Was that part of a client request to feature the logo somewhere. The online campaign with over the page executions of the guy with his metal detector is just plain annoying!
I like it. Gives me peace of mind that I’m not going to miss out / get stung for a clause in the small print. I hope they deliver on that…
Is the TVC voiced by David Wenham? Sounds a lot like him…
Hmm as art it seems ok, but as a selling tool I think it is highyl forgettable, might appeal to the 4 to 12 yr old demographic
I was just commenting the other day on how creepy this ad is…is that just me?
What are those crows saying????

I think the animation is amazing, more then solid effort. Hats off.

Just have to say I F%$%@%ing this pathetic ad, I either have to block my ears or change stations, the massive noses on the “guy’s” but those F%#$ “crows” such a bloody annoying noise.
