When a baby becomes a precautionary expert with precociousness
Swiss Life and Jung von Matt/Limmat are focusing on longer, self-determined lives. The star of the campaign is a little smart aleck.
The awareness campaign launched on Monday aims to get people to look into personal retirement planning, according to the statement. After all, people are living longer and longer and self-determination is therefore becoming increasingly important. For the campaign, Swiss Life and Jung von Matt/Limmat brought "The Wise Baby" to life.
The wise baby is a little smart-ass with a Zurich dialect. He himself has the most to gain from an ever-longer life - which is why he serves as a symbol for it. In the first commercial launched on Monday, the little precautionary expert meets his babysitter. Her protégé gives her advice before her nap.

For the ambitious idea of making a baby talk like an adult, the makers sought expertise from specialists. MPC was responsible for the post-production and visual effects. In a multi-stage process, 22 specialists taught the little precautionary expert to speak in over 362 man-days.

The comprehensive marketing campaign runs primarily via digital channels. In addition to the babysitter spot, measures are implemented in owned, earned and paid channels. The focus is on dialog with customers. On the Campaign page interested parties can talk directly to the wise baby and get tips for a longer, self-determined life. For the current year, further measures are planned around the little expert. (hae/pd)
