Feel Claim Confident
Everyday UK car owners perform heroic bonnet slides to visually express feeling confident about car finance claims.
Full creative analysis
This campaign addresses a key public awareness problem: consumers seeking compensation for mis-sold car finance often lose significant portions of their payouts to predatory claims-management companies because the direct claim process seems daunting or confusing. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) positions itself as the trusted regulator offering free, direct tools that let consumers keep 100% of their money. The creative strategy transforms the phrase 'feel claim confident' into a striking physical metaphor. Across a series of vibrant street vignettes, diverse individuals execute absurdly graceful, action-movie-style bonnet slides across parked and washed vehicles while holding their smartphones. The sequence escalates in physical absurdity—from a man in a sweater jumping over a silver car, to someone sliding over a soapy red hatchback, to a dog and owner leaping in unison, to a shopper sliding across a purple car with groceries scattering in slow motion. Driven by energetic blues-rock guitar riffing and confident voiceover instruction, the visual repetition creates an instantly memorable visual anchor. The spot successfully demystifies a regulatory service by infusing it with cinematic fun, clear UI demonstrations on the phone, and an empowering tone.
Why it is useful
A brilliant reference for converting bureaucratic or regulatory processes into a memorable, joyful physical metaphor that drives direct action.
