Spots created by gyro Chicago/Denver to air during PGA TOUR’s Sentry Tournament of Champions broadcast on Golf Channel
Sentry Insurance, one of the largest mutual insurance companies in the United States, is debuting its first national television campaign in more than 30 years. Created by gyro Chicago/Denver, the spots will debut in late December during the Golf Channel’s broadcasts leading up to, and including live coverage, of the Sentry Tournament of Champions on January 4-7, 2018.The campaign brings to life Sentry’s successful “Right By You” business-to-business brand platform which helps businesses understand how Sentry earns their trust by sitting down, talking, and listening to them. The concept is brought to life via two iconic blue chairs, representing the two-way conversation between Sentry and its customers.
The TV spots target a variety of business owners including “dealerships that keep businesses in business and the factories that keep the wheels of commerce moving.”
“They illustrate Sentry’s commitment to getting to know our customers, and understanding their business and the risks they face,” said Stephanie Smith, Sentry vice president of Marketing and Brand Management. “We’re better able to work with them to develop the right insurance coverage, safety services program, or retirement plan based on their needs.”
Earlier this year, Sentry signed a five-year agreement with the PGA TOUR to become the sponsor of the Sentry Tournament of Champions golf tournament. It is the 110-year old company’s first major sports sponsorship.
The four TV spots are part of an integrated campaign supported by digital, print, event activations, and public relations.
“Sentry is a highly respected company who understands the needs of their customers,” said Doug Kamp, ECD, gyro Chicago/Denver. “The PGA TOUR is a perfect platform to tell their humanly relevant story for the first time in more than three decades. We are thrilled to help raise awareness for a brand that truly practices what they preach.”
