The client Raymond James
Situation
Raymond James is a financial services firm with thousands of advisors and offices across North America. They asked Martin Williams to continue to build their brand awareness with high net worth clients and prospective clients.
Strategy
This was a continuation of their ongoing Life Well Planned campaign. But MW needed to begin carving out RJ’s space in the financial services category—offering sophisticated financial advice for more complex needs than just building an investment portfolio or saving for retirement. The new campaign needed to convey the true value of holistic, personal and trusted advice throughout a lifetime.
Creation
The television spots show how beautiful, messy, complicated and unpredictable life’s moments can be. They convey an understanding that while no one can prevent life’s challenges, you can still be prepared for them.
In both spots, the lead characters are followed throughout their lives. Along the way, they have to deal with the ups and downs involved in life events like raising kids, to buying and selling a business, to the realities of caring for aging parents.
Execution
Steve & team collaborated with award-winning Swedish director Tomas Jonsgarden from David Fincher’s production company RESET Content. As you can imagine, the challenges of following lead characters through a half-century is a little tricky visually. They had to find just the right actors who could believably span the years, along with fantastic period wardrobe and set design.
The :60 and :30 spots aired nationally.
Measurement
The spot was part of a new campaign that helped continue to build awareness of the Raymond James brand for both prospective clients and prospective advisors.
