The Brief

Corporate-owned life insurance as a wealth strategy is hard to explain. Terms like the Capital Dividend Account and a secure cash component can lose an audience fast. Wilson needed a short video that made the idea clear and relatable for successful business owners.

02

Our Approach

We built the story around Mike, a business owner with $20 million in his holding company. Thought bubbles show what he does not want, then what he does. A simple overhead shot splits his money between his business and a life insurance policy. Clean labels explain the two components. The video ends with Mike enjoying the results at home.
