Thjnk and Helsana start cooperation with an image campaign

Thjnk Zurich is Helsana's new lead agency. In a multi-stage pitch, the agency, which recently celebrated its fifth anniversary, was successful. Now the first jointly developed campaign "Long Live Life" is launched.

With its new campaign "Long Live Life," Helsana wants to celebrate the uniqueness of life and the value of health. The life-affirming messages are intended to inspire the population to embrace life with all its facets.

So TV commercials were developed that address two completely contrasting emotions: Laughing and crying. The films substantiate the health aspects of these emotions with scientific facts. Laughter, for example, stimulates blood circulation and boosts the immune system. Crying reduces stress hormones and strengthens social bonds.

A novelty here is that the spots are switched in tandem. The media duality illuminates the entire spectrum of our emotional world. Helsana's clear message: life is worth living. Every life. At any time.

The TV spots are flanked by digital advertising media such as online videos, animated banners and DOOH, as well as billboards.
