OMAHA, NE--(Marketwired - Apr 14, 2014) - Mutual of Omaha is taking its popular Aha Moment Tour back on the road this summer, visiting 20 cities to collect real aha moments -- life-changing moments of hope and inspiration -- from real people across America.
Traveling more than 9,300 miles, four crewmembers will tour in a custom built 34-foot Airstream trailer designed as a mobile video recording studio. Participants who share their personal aha moments may be featured in a new 30-second television ad, which will begin airing in spring 2015.
In its four-year run to date, the tour has captured more than 4,000 people sharing their aha moments, with the videos shared socially and posted to the campaign website at http://www.mutualofomaha.com/aha. Each previous tour culminated in a month-long online public vote to determine which stories will be featured in Mutual of Omaha's nationwide television advertising campaign. Over 50 commercials have been produced and aired since the campaign's inception in 2009.
"Over the last four years, we have been deeply moved and inspired by the many aha moments people from coast to coast have shared," said John Hildenbiddle, senior vice president of Brand Management and Public Relations for Mutual of Omaha. "As we begin our fifth Aha Moment Tour, we are excited to collect and share these special moments. Whether big or small, funny or sad, surprising or inspiring, each one is unique, deeply personal and worthy of recognition."
