Digital estate planning company Trust & Will launches a TV campaign with Marketing Architects about making your final wishes legally binding.
MINNEAPOLIS, MN—March 25, 2024—San Diego-based Trust & Will launches new ad campaign “Make It Count” in partnership with All-Inclusive TV agency Marketing Architects.
Founded in 2017, Trust & Will is on a mission to help every family leave a legacy by bringing the estate planning process online. Today, they’ve helped hundreds of thousands of families create estate plans and settle probate with affordable and customizable plans, and they’re only continuing to grow.
A key channel behind this growth has been TV advertising. Seeing TV's impact and potential, Trust & Will was ready to develop fresh creative that would continue to build the brand, attract new customers, and support their mission. Working with Marketing Architects to uncover audience insights and produce compelling creative, Trust & Will landed on ‘Make It Count’ for the campaign.
'Make It Count’ highlights people verbally sharing their end-of-life wishes with loved ones—a heartfelt gesture, but one that won’t hold up legally. Then, spokesperson Eddie Blackwell Williams explains why these wishes only count when documented in a will or a trust, which Trust & Will can help you build from the convenience of your home.
“For many, estate planning can feel daunting,” says Dale Sperling, CMO at Trust & Will. “At Trust & Will, we're making the difficult conversations of end-of-life planning easier than most imagine is possible, and this campaign reflects that by bringing a light, engaging tone to a challenging topic.”
Creative was shot in Salt Lake City, and a national search was conducted to land a spokesperson who was likeable, authoritative, and funny. The campaign will run on both linear and streaming TV for maximum reach.
“We’re thrilled to partner with a company drawing attention to the need for a legally upholding document to facilitate people’s final plan,” adds Dhiren Khemlani, SVP of Client Growth at Marketing Architects. “We're excited about Trust & Will further tapping into TV’s ability to drive brand growth and help more people than ever in the estate planning process.”
