Challenge

Insurance is low interest and low frequency. People only think about it at renewal or in a crisis. That is why the giants like Compare the Market and GoCompare spend £100m+ a year, to stay top of mind. Our challenge: keep Simply Business salient when we are outspent 10-1.

INSIGHT

Small business insurance is bought on autopilot. The brand that comes to mind first, wins. That’s why so many insurers play a name game. 

IDEA >
SIMPLY THE BEST

Our Brand idea sets Simply Business as simply the best small business insurance in the market,  By reimagines the world famous song “The Best”, and switching the hero lyric to “Simply Business”.

CULTURAL
ADVANTAGE

We leveraged something already embedded in culture.  With 2 million streams a week, the track brings instant recognition, emotional pull and nostalgia.

By making the brand the hook, we created a distinctive, repeatable asset that cuts through, builds memory and earns attention. In a category driven by spend, we used culture to create an edge.
