New York Life Launches New $25 Million Ad Campaign;
First Collaboration with Chiat/Day/Mojo Focuses on "The Company You Keep
NEW YORK, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- New York Life Insurance Company announced today that it will launch a new $25 million television and print advertising campaign built around the slogan: The Company You Keep (SM).
(...)
The campaign marks the first New York Life advertising created and produced by Chiat/Day/Mojo. The cornerstone of the advertising is that New York Life is "the company you keep," for its quality agency force and its business practices. To illustrate this, the television commercials show actual New York Life agents as people whom customers want to do business with because of the values they represent, such as teamwork, trust, and personal and professional growth.
(...)
"The commercials are designed to reinforce the special qualities of the New York Life agent," said Richard A. Wecker, senior vice president in charge of the Agency Department. "Our agents play an active role in their communities, so people can feel comfortable doing business with them and entrusting them with their financial plans."
(...)
"Our objective with both the television commercials and print ads is to tell people that New York Life is not only a company you keep -- in terms of a long-term business relationship -- but also made up of people with whom you want to be associated," Staniar said.
New York Life, the fifth largest life insurance company in the United States, currently has more than $44 billion in assets, and offers traditional life insurance products, as well as a variety of financial services, including mutual funds, partnership investments, annuities and pensions, and managed health care.

New York Life Ads Sell "Company You Keep"
by John P. Mello Jr.
Some may consider values like financial strength, integrity and humanity a bit stodgy for an advertising campaign by a financial services company in the 21st century, but not at New York Life.
At the end of January, the 160-year-old firm launched a $30 million national television, radio and print offensive that will run through the rest of the year built around a theme of unchanging values. Berlin Cameron/Red Cell of New York developed the campaign.
(...)
The new ads retain some of the elements from New York Life's previous "Heritage" campaign launched in 2002, including music composed by Carter Burwell, who has written scores for the Coen brothers, the voiceover by actress Ruby Dee and the tagline "the company you keep."
