La Trobe Financial launches first new work in years, via Bastion

La Trobe Financial has released its first new marketing campaign with creative agency Bastion, who they appointed in late 2023.

‘Grandpa’s Gift’ is the financial institution first new campaign in years, “representing a shift in approach from product centric to human centric, aligning with their ethos of helping Australians with the financial independence to access their dreams.”

The integrated campaign will run across television, print, display, social, and out of home.

“For over 70 years our clients have relied on us to look after them, so they can look after those they love,” said La Trobe Financial CEO, Chris Andrews.

“With this as our foundation, we have created a campaign that we think truly captures the hearts of our investors. It depicts, in a beautiful way, our investor base and puts the focus on those who are seeking a prosperous future and a dignified retirement.

“The campaign celebrates a life of well-managed investment choices that affords freedom in later years. It shows a connection between generations and taps into our universal desire to care for our families through everyday acts of kindness. We are one of Australia’s leading retirement income providers and this campaign captures the people we serve in a very heart-felt, human way.”

Bastion Creative’s CCO, Simon Langley said of the campaign: “In a world of golf, convertibles and walks along beaches at magic hour, this takes a different approach in tone and message – capturing the importance of having the funds not just for your retirement, but to be able to provide for or treat those you love.”
