Athene Launches New “Game Changers” Campaign for Fall 2018

PEMBROKE, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Athene Holding Ltd. (“Athene”) (NYSE: ATH), a leading provider of retirement savings products, announced its fall 2018 brand campaign today.

“At Athene, we are ‘Driven to Do More’ in all aspects of our work, and this campaign reflects our commitment to that ethos,” said Rodney Branch, Chief Marketing Officer of Athene. “The new campaign ads highlight Athene’s willingness to break free from conventional thinking and emphasize our commitment to being a trusted partner that offers better solutions in challenging times.”

The ads depict financial professionals detaching themselves from the strings of a marionette, representing an escape from narrowmindedness and the imaginative thinking that differentiates Athene from other financial institutions. The “Game Changers” campaign builds on Athene’s previous “Driven to Do More” ads.

The television ads will run on national networks such as CNN, Fox News, HGTV and the Travel Channel, while print ads will run in Kiplinger’s, Bloomberg Businessweek, Travel + Leisure and others.
