A brand platform built to last

Pie Insurance

We teamed up to create a character-driven brand world: 7x 15-second animated shorts designed like Saturday morning cartoons but made for business owners who’ve seen it all. Think short-circuiting outlets, rogue chickens, and chairs that give up mid-zoom — all grounded in the kinds of “oh no” moments that make insurance make sense. Every scenario unfolds like a mini comedy.

Another great collaboration with Vidico once again helping us to bring our lighthearted animated series to life, this time through the use of beautifully crafted 3d storytelling.

The Ask

The Ask

Pie came to us with four big goals:

Speak to small biz owners and tradespeople like actual humans
Fuel growth in their Commercial Auto product
Step outside the vanilla, price-led noise of the category
Build a long-term system for brand storytelling

We also faced a creative constraint: telling a complete, funny, and relatable story in just 15 seconds. That challenge sharpened our focus on what mattered most — character, timing, and payoff. Watch the series here

The Style

The Style

Premium 3D — warm, textured, and endlessly flexible. So Pie’s not just dropping a campaign; they’re launching an asset engine. One they can extend, remix, and repurpose across digital, paid, and CTV.

We ditched the classic “voiceover explainer” formula. Instead, we built an animated universe — one with rules, characters, and punchlines — that Pie could own long term. Every scene was designed with a fixed-camera feel, grounded humor, and cartoon logic that made these pieces rewatchable, not just scrollable. Each moment was crafted to feel observational, like peeking into a little world full of mishaps, charm, and relatable chaos

Why it worked

Why it worked

  • Gave Pie a platform that said “We get it” without ever saying “insurance”
  • Built a repeatable format for performance marketing, storytelling, and branded social
  • Created a bank of assets with shelf life — not just one-and-done spots
  • This wasn’t just a campaign — it was a chance to reimagine insurance storytelling with wit, warmth, and humanity.
