If not now, then when? That’s the sentiment behind Northwestern Mutual's fully integrated, cross-platform advertising campaign which launched on September 8th during the 2022 NFL season kickoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams. Independent creative company and agency of record MIRIMAR created a TV, digital, and social media campaign that will air nationally throughout 2023. Northwestern Mutual's proprietary research revealed that Americans have an overwhelming desire to pursue their dreams now, rather than wait for that elusive “someday.” Yet, financial insecurity is preventing them from going after what’s most important. The “Great Realization” is a cultural rallying cry for all Americans who have been delaying their dreams to put their priorities into sharp focus and act by creating a financial plan.
