Mutual society Shepherds Friendly has launched the second stage of its first major brand campaign, with a national billboard rollout, radio advertising across major stations and the expansion of its TV ad to new regions.
The marketing activity is based around the theme of ‘milestone moments’, a similar message to that used in the Manchester-based firm’s first ever television advert in January this year.
Created with TrunkBBI, the campaign centres on Shepherds Friendly’s commitment to developing financial solutions that support its members with major life events such as buying their first home, starting a family or taking a trip of a lifetime.
With the help of CNS Media, its first radio ad went live on Monday on LBC, Heart 70s, Heart 80s, Heart Digital and Smooth Digital, as well as streaming via digital music platforms.
Billboards are this week being erected in key cities including Greater Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham, Sheffield and Cardiff.
Zac Chetwynd, senior head of marketing at Shepherds Friendly, said: “This is the second phase of a campaign aimed at building on our ethos of always putting members first, and showing how we’re committed to helping members celebrate the milestone moments that our investment and insurance plans are designed to support.
“We were encouraged by how well our theme resonated with audiences when we launched our TV ad earlier this year, and we expect this next phase to be just as well received.”
