Guardian Angel is a tech for good company created to make the experience of losing someone easier. It was founded after our founder Sam who lost his Mum suddenly in 2016. He experienced first-hand the chaos caused by the absence of a plan when someone dies. It made one of the toughest times in his life even tougher than it needed to be. Guardian Angel was created to make the experience of loss that little bit easier for those left behind.
One of the ways we do this is through our proactive planning tools, including our online will.
One of the ways we distribute our online wills is via our 200+ charity partners. Gifts in wills make up a significant portion of charities income and our online tool help charities offer a clear call to action in the form of a free will writing service.
In Sept-Oct, 2023 weʼre running a campaign for our charity partners to help them promote legacy giving via gift in wills. We will be testing paid social ads across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to encourage our charities potential supporters to leave a gift in their will using our online will writing service.
Which is:
An online will writing service
Hook: ‘Free will’ can be a nice hook to engage colder audiences. But often means users use the free will offer and then don’t leave a gift to charity. We want to create content that uses free will as a hook to engage people but encourages money minded individuals to leave a gift in their will by educating them about the tax benefits of doing so. |
Script: Scene #1:
Show yourself to the camera and address the audience directly. Look excited, like you're about to blow their minds / change their perception.
Script #1:
I think this is the money tip that not enough people are talking about…
Did you know you can actually save money by writing your will with a charity?
I didn’t.
Scene #2
Address the audience directly. Inform, educate and empower them. Authoritative tone about your own experience that builds trust. Remember: always film in natural / bright light! (e.g. facing a window)
Script #2:
This Autumn Urostomy Association are running a free will offer for their supporters.
So not only did I save money today, ticking off something I’d been meaning to do for years.
But by giving just 10% of my estate to Urostomy Association I also save my [INSERT KEY LOVED ONES] money by reducing inheritance tax by 16% when I die.
[UGC to insert how this makes them feel e.g. Nice to know I can do some good whilst saving money]
Scene #3
Sound positively surprised. Tone: Lighter, more relatable. Share your own preconceptions about will writing and show you’re relief that it wasn’t that.
Script #3:
**PLEASE INCLUDE THIS:
It was easier than I thought.
I’ve always felt that I want to pay forward the kindness the Association has shown me whenever I’ve
needed them. To me and so many others with urinary diversion, they’re a trusted friend - always
there with reassurance, information and emotional support so we can live our lives with confidence.
So this Autumn when they offered me a free will it was the push I needed to finally get this sorted.
I was expecting writing to be [REAL CONCEPTION YOU HAD]. But it was actually quick, in plain english and pretty painless. |
CTA: Scene #4
For the call to action, speak directly to camera to boost conversions!

BRANDS WE ADMIRE & WHY:
COMPETITORS:
ACCESSIBLE VS ANXIETY-INDUCING: We don’t use over-complicated technical jargon. We make conversations around death accessible, not anxiety-inducing or confusing.
STORYTELLING AS A WAY OF BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER: We don’t talk in blanket statements. Everyone’s experience of death is different. Instead, we can encourage open communication by championing individual stories.
DIRECT: We don’t beat around the bush. As a brand, we use ‘death’ rather than ‘passed away’. We are direct without being crass.
GROUNDED: We know that nothing we say or do will remove the emotional difficulty of death. We will never promise that.
