This Aviva advert continues to air in 2022 titled ‘It takes Aviva’ featuring some classical music composed for the ad. Here you can find violin music, actress and filming location details for the commercial.
In the commercial we see a women at work thinking of her family at home. While getting in her car to begin her drive home to her family at a rural spot, the actress breaks down in the middle of a rain storm.
The advert highlights all the twists and turns that can be had in life as the women is wading through a flooded residential street. A voice-over says “We all have hopes for the future, And no matter what lies ahead, we can help you get there.”
The ad is a far step away from Aviva’s previous ‘Had To Be There’ advert where some pets had escaped on to the road from a Pet Shot with a smashed window.
