Apia unveils ‘Get Set. Go.’ campaign via Leo Burnett Sydney, offering over 50s a world of possibilities
Apia, part of the Suncorp’s network of brands, has launched ‘Get Set. Go’ in partnership with Leo Burnett Sydney.
The new platform speaks to an increasingly diverse and growing audience in the competitive over 50s insurance sector and reaffirms Apia’s position in understanding the needs of their over 50s customers and providing products and services exclusively designed for them.
The campaign works on two levels: ‘Get Set’ represents the pragmatic benefits that Apia delivers – the ease, convenience and peace of mind that customers receive with Apia, including service tips, help and advice. ‘Go’ speaks to a more emotional promise – the good life, in all its forms. It inspires over 50s to embrace the amazing opportunities and experiences they deserve.
Says Mark Behr, executive manager, marketing insurance, Suncorp: “At Apia, we’re renowned as experts in the over 50s life stage. As such, we know our customers like the peace of mind insurance offers, but they’ve got other things they’d rather be thinking about, like living full and interesting lives. That’s why we offer tailored cover, specialist service, advice and tips to help them get set up, so they can go and enjoy the good life.”
Says Jason Williams, chief creative officer, Leo Burnett Australia: “We wanted to create a platform idea that speaks to the unique mindset of the over 50 audience. These customers aren’t slowing down; they’re excited about the next chapter of their lives and want to embrace new possibilities.”

Every patronising cliche at the ready … pound the pavement…. burn rubber … really? Even the music track was patronising . No new possibilities here, just the same old same old.
something isn’t gelling at all here…the music?
Empowering “insert target” to “insert action” -APIA empowering over 50s to make the most of new possibilities
DDB Melbourne must be seething seeing this work, its gone back 10 years. 120 cliches in 60 seconds.
An obvious case of over 50 isn’t old, but it is when it comes to creative depts.
Written, created and directed by over 50’s or under 50’s? It’s a fair question and the answer may indicate a whole lot in regards to the outcome. I would have thought a campaign like this, to avoid parody, would be best delivered in the hands of a full creative and suit team drawn from the target market….
This is more work from the Australian brand who best alienates their target market.
Super underwhelming
What’s happening at Leo Burnett Sydney? Not so long ago it was a great creative empire.
Too much Victorian influence and interference I hear.
C’mon LB Sydney, stand up. You’re better than this.
I spat out my dentures and dropped a stitch in my knitting watching this. What were you young whippersnappers thinking? Show some respect and try a few more ridiculously outdated cliches next time. There’s not nearly enough. Kids these days!
Long ago, I was shat on by a bird minutes before a pitch. That was less embarrassing than this.
Too many yes men.
This is so bad everyone who made it should be fired. You are making this 51 year old feel like a loser portraying me this way. Arseholes.
