Overconfident pets star in RACV Pet Insurance’s latest creative campaign via CHE Proximity

Pets are always confusing their ambition with their ability, yet 94% of Australian pet owners don’t have cover. To help RACV launch its new pet insurance, CHE Proximity has created a campaign that shows how RACV covers pets for their overconfidence through a range of vet medical supplies.

The integrated campaign sees RACV partner with one of Australia’s most trusted animal hospitals, Lort Smith, and four globally renowned artists and designers, to raise awareness of under-insured Victorian pets.

Creating a limited-edition range of veterinary supplies, the artists designed a lion mane cone, a pet-cast that features a tattoo sleeve print, bandages with attitude, and an amped up wheelchair.

The stars of the campaign, beloved pets Lady, Leo and Yasmina, now have the insurance they need and are the first to be kitted out with medical supplies worthy of their adventurous attitudes.

The designers responsible for the range of supplies include:

– Tim Chappel, costumer designer on Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

– Dennis McCarthy, picture car coordinator for the Fast & Furious releases F3 (Tokyo Drift) to present

– Gareth Davies, tattoo artist from Bondi Ink

– James Jirat Patradoon, Heavy Metal Illustrator

RACV’s partnership with Lort Smith will see thousands of bold bandages and lion mane cones available to pets who come in for treatment with an RACV Pet Insurance Policy.

Says Laura Wilson, GM marketing and membership, RACV: “We understand the role pets play within the family and we really wanted to celebrate their unique personalities and their often overconfidence throughout our campaign. We saw a great brand alignment with Lort Smith who like us, want to encourage responsible pet ownership, which includes getting pets insured, so that they are covered when their cat or dog needs medical attention.”
