AIA Hong Kong has released a new campaign titled “Protection Comes in Many Ways” developed with BBDO Hong Kong.
The campaign includes a 90-second TVC series titled “Let Love Transcend Time,” timed to Father’s Day and told from the dual perspectives of a father and his son, based on real customer stories.
The campaign, which deliberately deprioritises product and brand messaging in its long-form films, is a creative bet on emotional storytelling as a driver of insurance consideration.
Melissa Wong, Chief Customer and Marketing Officer at AIA Hong Kong and Macau, said the campaign “reminds people that insurance is not just financial protection, but love in action, carried forward today, tomorrow and across generations.”
The campaign is built on the insight that in many Asian families, love is more commonly expressed through quiet acts of care than through words, with the act of purchasing life insurance for the next generation becoming a demonstration of protection and affection.
Beyond the TVC, the campaign includes influencer partnerships and a series of seminars featuring experts and celebrities discussing death, grief, and how insurance protects loved ones, with both strands reinforcing the idea that insurance is fundamentally an expression of care.
Insurers globally are shifting towards emotional brand-building after years of product and price-led advertising, with AIA’s campaign a notable regional example of that trend.
