Crane Agency

Country / Region

United States

For 140 years, Crane Agency has been more than an insurance provider—it's been a trusted partner, standing by businesses through their boldest moves and greatest risks. Our campaign, "Crane Was There," transformed their legacy into a powerful brand narrative, proving that experience isn't just a selling point—it's a promise.

Rather than relying on generic industry tropes, we rooted the campaign in history, resilience and trust. Using archival imagery and bold typography, each ad juxtaposed significant historical events with the message: Crane Agency has seen it, supported businesses through it and will continue to do so.

This approach positioned Crane as more than a company that provides insurance—it is a brand synonymous with stability and dependability. Weaving actual events into our storytelling made Crane Agency's legacy feel immediate, relevant and deeply human. Through a mix of digital, print and social media ads, the campaign reached new audiences while strengthening relationships with long-time clients.
