CSS launches prompt‑generated insurance campaign by Digitas/Saatchi
CSS Versicherung has launched a new marketing campaign for its property insurance lines, developed by Digitas and Saatchi & Saatchi Switzerland after winning a pitch at the end of 2025. The campaign, live across numerous digital touchpoints since mid‑April, uses concise headline wordplay (e.g., "Luggage. Loss?", "Water. Damage?") and deliberately avoids visual depictions of damage. Instead, monochrome single‑object imagery was created via prompting (not traditional photography), enabling efficient, scalable production. A Dynamic Creative setup automated format adaptation and delivery; more than 3,800 assets were produced in four languages and deployed across the sales funnel. The campaign covers travel, household, liability and building insurance and is planned to run for the next two years. Lukas Trinkler, Digital Marketing Specialist at CSS, is quoted on the creative approach.
