AXA Launches Bold Campaign: Being Self-Employed Shouldn’t Be a Risk

In a world fraught with uncertainties and ever-evolving risks, AXA, a leading global insurer, is stepping up to redefine the narrative around self-employment. With their latest brand strategy unveiled in 2023, AXA boldly questioned, “Why should the future be a risk?” This provocative query set the stage for a transformative journey aimed at reshaping the landscape of insurance.

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by self-employed individuals, AXA embarked on a mission to empower and protect this vital segment of the workforce. The first chapter of their campaign shed light on the disproportionate risks faced by women, emphasizing the need for inclusive solutions. Now, AXA sets its sights on addressing the vulnerabilities inherent in self-employment with the launch of their global brand campaign: “Being self-employed shouldn’t be a risk.”

At the heart of this campaign lies a profound belief in the resilience and contributions of self-employed professionals to the global economy. Despite the myriad obstacles they encounter, from financial insecurities to professional uncertainties, AXA seeks to celebrate their unwavering determination and spirit.

In a poignant yet lighthearted film directed by Hoffman & Metoyer, the everyday struggles and triumphs of the self-employed take center stage. Through simple yet relatable anecdotes, the campaign highlights the need for adequate protection and support in navigating the complexities of self-employment.

Accompanied by a reimagined rendition of “I Got You, Babe” by El Perro Del Mar, the campaign strikes a chord with audiences, resonating with its message of solidarity and understanding. By acknowledging the realities of self-employment without dwelling on the hardships, AXA reaffirms its commitment to making the world safer, fairer, and more inclusive for all.

Published in France in May 2024, this professional campaign marks a significant milestone in AXA’s journey towards fostering a culture of resilience and empowerment. Created in collaboration with Publicis Conseil, the campaign serves as a testament to AXA’s dedication to innovation and inclusivity in the insurance industry.

As we navigate an increasingly uncertain world, AXA’s campaign serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that being self-employed shouldn’t be a risk – it should be an opportunity for growth, innovation, and prosperity. With AXA by their side, self-employed individuals can embark on their professional journey with confidence, knowing that they have a partner committed to their success and well-being.
