The problem
Insurance doesn't sell to people who don't think they need it yet
Younger audiences weren't ignoring Nitsche because of the brand. They were ignoring insurance entirely. The category felt abstract, distant, and designed for someone older. Nitsche needed content that made insurance feel personal and immediate - not a product pitch, but a mirror that showed younger people their own lives and the moments that make protection matter.
The solution
Documentary-style storytelling across three life stages
I designed a content strategy built around three distinct life stage segments within the 18-35 range. Rather than speaking to the demographic as a block, I identified the specific moments when insurance becomes real for each group - and built the campaign around those moments.
Just starting out
Young adults beginning their financial lives - first apartments, first real jobs, first sense of what it means to be responsible for yourself.
Building a life together
Couples entering serious relationships, taking on shared responsibilities, starting to think about protecting what they're building.
Planning for the future
Families starting to grow - new parents thinking about long-term security, protecting their children, leaving something behind.
For each segment, I conducted in-depth interviews to surface authentic stories and real financial goals. Then I filmed real people in their real lives, letting them narrate their own futures. The result was four individual videos and one combined long-form piece built for broadcast.
The campaign
The Nitsche Group - Full Campaign
Documentary-style storytelling built around real people at real life stages. Emotional, specific, and impossible to dismiss as generic insurance content.
