Haworne Direct Creates and Produces New DRTV Commercials for Gerber Life Insurance Company

Hawthorne Direct, a full service brand response advertising agency, has created and produced a new Direct Response Television campaign promoting a product of the Gerber Life Insurance company. The announcement was made today by Chief Operations Officer Jessica Hawthorne-Castro, Hawthorne Direct.

For the new campaign, Hawthorne Direct created a series of :30 and :60 spots to promote the Gerber Life College Plan, a product of Gerber Life Insurance Company. In these spots, a family financial expert is seen discussing the future costs of college tuition, and how parents must begin planning now, to combat the skyrocketing costs of college which are sure to confront them in the future.

Regarding the new campaign, David Rosenbluth, Vice President, Product and Consumer Marketing, Gerber Life Insurance Company, said, We brought this important new initiative to Hawthorne Direct because of their proven expertise in the Direct Response Television advertising space. Our objective with this new campaign was to create a sense of urgency by explaining to parents the importance of starting to save their money for college now, while their child is still young. We want parents to know that the Gerber Life College Plan can help them achieve this goal.

Adds Hawthorne-Castro, COO, Hawthorne Direct, Our goal with this campaign was to address the challenges that many parents face today, and to stress to them the idea that, by starting to save even just a small amount of their money now, potential student loan debt in the future will be significantly reduced. The mandate here was to convey the idea that it's important to start saving early, while your child is still young. The Gerber Life College Plan provides a safe, guaranteed way to start saving for college today, without stock market risk.

Chief Creative Officer John Pucci, Hawthorne Direct, said, We wanted to develop authentic new creative for the Gerber Life Insurance DRTV campaign, in an effort to trigger significant viewer response, and to obtain an increased volume of qualified respondents. The new spots were designed to create a sense of urgency -- to get parents to think about financing their children's future education needs. The campaign urges viewers to call or go online, so they may obtain more information about the great benefits the Gerber Life College Plan can provide for their family.
