Jesus. It’s like we just stepped back to 1999 when at Leo Burnett Technology Group we pumped out campaign after campaign touting the equity-building properties of a strong brand presence based on the four pillars of an account planner’s wet dream: Vision, Mission, Essence and Position. Architecting the brand as it were.
It all usually netted in some self-important puffery akin to this new tagline from Esurance, “People when you want them. Technology when you don’t.” Sounds like a Peoplesoft tagline. Anyone remember them?
Anyway, the new campiagn is a play on technology versus people. There’s a time for technology and there’s a time for people. 1990’s tagline aside, the campaign does a pretty good job illustrating that separation.
You can see it all here.
