Ladder, the company offering flexible life insurance in minutes, released “Crocodile,” the second installation of its “So Good” brand campaign — a series of humorous and memorable films built around the unique consumer insight that almost 1 in 2 couples with life insurance joke about taking each other out for the payout.
Created in partnership with creative/culture agency FRED & FARID Los Angeles and director Casey Storm (also known as a costume designer for the likes of Spike Jonze and David Fincher), the new film stars the Ladder mom unleashing another inventive plot on her beloved husband: this time with the ruse of a romantic parental rendezvous and a little help from a crocodile. Once again, dad escapes the outlandish trap (mostly) unphased, retorting “I’m ok guys!” with his signature happy-go-lucky demeanor.
“I love this campaign,” said Storm. “For me as a director, the scripts and the campaign are a home run. I’ve heard how effective the last campaign was and I’m sure this next devilish round will be equally successful at raising brand awareness and making people smile.”
