The ambition

As the world’s leading luxury later living model, Auriens is a place where everything is taken care of. In order to raise awareness and attract new resident enquiries, Pollitt & Partners worked alongside Auriens to create a campaign that stood out from the usual tropes of the sector. By injecting a little humour and pathos to copywriting, we wanted to humanise the idea of Auriens for the later living community

 

The idea

In order to stand out from the usual visual styling of the luxury later living sector, we eschewed photography in favour of a warm, slightly playful retro illustration styling, evocative of advertising of the 1970s and 80s. By doing so we were able to add personality and humour, taking genuine thoughts, concerns, worries and anecdotes from residents and re framing them as reassurances that everything at Auriens is taken care of, sometimes before you even know it.

“…You Just Know” is a bold statement that underlines this dedication to service.

A campaign line of “HERE AT AURIENS, YOU JUST KNOW…” delivers a promise that residents can live safe in the knowledge that any request or any need or support, is always taken care of, by staff and by the resident community – the true mark of the care.

We worked with illustrator Satoshi Hashimoto, whose playfully retro style challenges visual tropes of the later living sector, and added a warmth to the campaign.

Copywriting takes recognisable scenarios from residents’ lives and underlines that Auriens is always there to make life better.

“By using humourous or recognisable situations, we were able to subtley reassure against challenges this age group has, such as loneliness, belonging, security and care, using a modern-retro styling that felt familiar.”
