Summary Analysis

Liberty Mutual’s latest ad takes a playful swing at insurance marketing with a clever golf pun. Featuring a literal bird on a golf course—who ironically dislikes golf—the ad uses humor to highlight a deeper message: not every bird likes golf, just like not every customer needs the same insurance plan.

This sets up their core proposition: Liberty Mutual customizes coverage so you only pay for what you need. The ad resonated well, with focus peaking at 90.71 at 28 seconds during the CTA and clarity hitting 98.7 at 27 seconds when the logo and jingle appeared. However, attention dipped to 18.09 at the end—likely due to minimal on-screen movement despite strong visual clarity.

All in all, it’s a quirky yet effective metaphor that lands the message with just the right touch of humor.
