Suncorp’s new campaign via Leo Burnett shows that ‘No One Knows QLD Like A Queenslander’
From cane toad takeovers to goannas holding the loungeroom hostage, with over 100 years of helping Queenslanders get back on track, Suncorp Insurance has seen it all. Leo Burnett Sydney has created a new campaign, “No One Knows Queensland Like A Queenslander”, that demonstrates Suncorp’s unique understanding of Queensland life and cover for life’s quintessentially Queensland moments.
Most Queenslanders know that being up north brings with it some distinctive challenges, and this integrated campaign aims to increase consideration of the Suncorp Insurance brand in Queensland by demonstrating that they truly understand Queensland life.
Says Mim Haysom, EGM brand and marketing, Suncorp: “As a brand and business born and bred in Queensland, Suncorp really knows and understands the unique and rather unusual insurance situations our customers encounter in our home state. Whether it’s big events like storms or those everyday quintessential Queensland claims, we’re definitely in the position to reassure our customers that we’ve got Queensland covered.”
Says Grant McAloon, executive creative director, Leo Burnett Sydney: “Queensland is an awesome place to live. Beautiful beaches, a laid back lifestyle and the mighty Maroons. But Queenslanders also know that life up North brings with it some unique challenges. As Queenslanders themselves, Suncorp gets it. They’ve seen it all — with some truly bizarre claims from their long heritage in the Queensland market. We were able to bring to life some fun scenes that Queenslanders will really relate to, and show how Suncorp helps Queenslanders bounce back.”
“No One Knows Queensland Like A Queenslander” will appear on broadcast television, geo targeted OOH, programmatic display, social and radio.

It actually shows you have no understanding of what it’s like to live in Qld…I think a couple of scripts about bending bananas would have been better
…so we hired an agency in NSW to make our ad.
Did they really need to fire PubQ in order to make this work??
Love how the two big insures in QLD are effectively running the same strategy.
They want their hammy overacting back.
It’s more shite from Mim!!
Great work Leo’s Sydney. People in metro Brisbane and larger Qld regional centres can really relate to goannas and cane toads. Not. Waaay off the mark.
Stick to the kid dancing
You are better than this Suncorp.
‘No one knows Queensland, like a Queenslander’. I’m pretty sure this is stating the exact opposite of what was intended. The incorrect use of a comma in your tagline (on the logo frame) gives the impression that Queenslanders don’t know Queensland either. It’s like saying ‘No one knows grammar – like a Sydney copywriter’. For what it’s worth, you don’t put a comma after the main clause when a subordinate clause follows it.
‘No one knows Queensland like a Queenslander’ is the correct usage. Hope that helps.
Fantastic point there. Hope they listen – or proofread.
Go Dave! Fun and effective!
You are obviously not a Queenslander as that is a Sand Crab not a Mud Crab. Honestly did not one person know that.
