Nomination Title: One of the Best Kept Secrets of World War II

1. The date on which this nominated material was first distributed or otherwise made public:

January 2010

2. Briefly describe this entry’s communications objectives and how it met those objectives (up to 100 words).

The objective was to provide a conversation piece for producers that capitalizes
on Sun Life's important connection with Great Britain and Winston Churchill. We
wanted to create a one-of-a-kind commemorative piece that highlights both Sun
Life's wartime mission with Great Britain and Winston Churchill's endorsement of
insurance.

This was an instant hit with our sales force and we went to reprint within less
than one week of releasing it. Additionally, various business areas requested
the piece so that while originally developed for the U.S., it now sees worldwide
distribution.
