ALLSTATE:

#SAVEIT4THEENDZONE



Allstate’s 2021 #SaveIt4TheEndzone TikTok Campaign


THE PRODUCT
Allstate is a leading name in home and auto insurance who has had no activations on TikTok prior to this ask. For this particular initiative Allstate was looking to position their new low rates as ‘championship savings.’ The hope was to celebrate people getting new lower rates with Allstate, like a college football team and their fans would celebrate winning a huge championship game.


THE BRIEF
  • Bring Allstate onto TikTok for the first time with a big splash
  • Work with Allstate and Starcom to create a branded effect that incorporates both Allstate and college football
  • Explore possibilities of an added dance challenge component, as to address the divisive NCAA rule change of prohibiting prolonged touchdown celebrations
  • Promote the effect using creators that reflect the diversity within college football


THE SOLUTION
The Allstate #SaveIt4TheEndzone Branded Effect and Hashtag Challenge

  • This Branded Effect featured a a green-screen end zone and goal posts with celebratory Allstate visual branding.
  • A “3, 2, 1" countdown prompted users to perform the end zone dance they may not otherwise be allowed to perform on the field.
  • Rights to the song "Everybody Dance Now” by C&C Music Factory were secured to get participants into the celebratory spirit.
