why capiTol adverTising?

Capitol Advertising developed a campaign that achieves the goal of increasing new Young Adult Auto and Renters policies. We do this by establishing State Farm as the leader in personalized policies. Our research-based campaign uses realistic, relatable, and humorous messaging to retain current policyholders, educate the target in an interactive way, and change Young Adults perceptions of State Farm. Your Life. Your Policy. resonates with the target market because Young Adults value personalized policies that fit their needs. Our campaign works because we capitalize on the opportunity to differentiate State Farm from the competition.
Your Life shapes Your Policy. Your Needs shape Our Campaign.
