Manulife: advert-body-1 by TBWA\ Singapore
- Location:
In tropical countries, such as Singapore, it is advised by government and health agencies that you shouldn’t have ‘standing water’ in your house as that is where mosquitos breed. Instead of discouraging people to own plant pots, Manulife partnered with local artisans to use non-toxic paint that works as an insecticide.
The insurance, retirement and wealth management firm wanted to weigh in on the issues around diseases such as dengue and zika in Singapore and decided that creating something beautiful, that also helped solve the problem, was a new way to engage people.
The campaign was created alongside TBWA\Singapore and sought the expertise of The Dragon Kiln, one of the last wood-fire kilns in Singapore.
The first 80 pots were delivered to homes in the Punggol area of Singapore and given to residents, while a competition to win more will be carried out on the Manulife Facebook page.
