MetLife


I wrote 3 TVCs for MetLife. The campaign trickled down to print and digital ads.

The campaign talked about the Ruiz family. A family with a lot of health problems that is always backed by their MetLife insurance.

We open with the MetLife logo on a blue screen.

We now see a two shot of Rulo and his mom. 

Rulo’s mom:  I have cooked him flautas every wee for
             34 years because it’s his favorite dish. But 
             when I was diagnosed with cancer I had to 
             stop making them. I had to rest a lot. 

Super:       Were you prepared? 

Rulo’s mom:  You are never prepared for news like these, 
            but my son, Rulo, had us insured, for
             years now, with MetLife and they took care
             of us. 

Super:      Add cancer coverage to your life insurance.

Rulo:       Yeah, they helped us with money for
medicines, doctor’s appointments, expenses.
We felt taken care of, right mom? And now
everything’s great.

Rulo’s mom: Yes, everything’s great, just like my 
            flautas.

Rulo’s mom: And what would you have done without
me? 

Rulo:       I’d have to get my flautas in the restaurant
            around the corner. 

Rulo’s mom: Yeah right, as if they where even good. 

Rulo:       I’m just joking mom.

We now see a two shot of Lupe and her brother. 

Lupe’s brother:  Older siblings always take care of the
young ones. 

Lupe:            Yeah right, liar. Who took care of you
when you had your gallbladder surgery? 

Lupe’s brother:  You did, Lupe. But who took care of
you when you had your anginas surgery?
Who gave you ice-cream every day?

Lupe:            Well, you did. How aboutwhen you got
your appendix surgery, remember? You
cried and cried and cried. 

Lupe’s brother:  Enough Lupe, we get it. 

Super:           A surgery can take a family by surprise.

Lupe’s brother:  Not just the surgery, the days I couldn’t
work too.

Lupe:            Yeah, but fortunately, apart form the
support of our family, our MetLife
insurance helped us with money for
recovery and additional expenses. 

Lupe’s brother:  Additional expenses too. 

Lupe:            We made it, and now we can keep
supporting each other as if nothing ever
happened. 

Super:           Add surgery coverage to your life
insurance.

Super:    Is there anything that scare you? 

Dad:      I’m not scared by anything, I’m the bravest one 
here. 

Jorge:    You told me that you were scared of eating read
meat, dad. 

Dad:      Well, yeah kid, since my heart thing I don’t eat 
as much. I have to take better care of myself
now. 

Super:    And did it scare your wallet? 

Dad:      It wasn’t as bad, our MetLife insurance helped
me with extra money for doctor’s appointments
and for the days I couldn’t work. I made it and
now everything’s good.
