Life is Better With Options.

Problem

Cboe is the world’s largest options exchange. But while investors have their go-to exchange for stocks, futures, and crypto, Cboe wasn’t top of mind as the main provider for options.

They needed reassert their position as the home of index options with a bold global campaign.


Insight

The average person makes over 35,000 choices each day. But when it comes to investing, over half of retail traders choose just a single fund to invest in, no matter what the market does.

It isn’t laziness holding them back, but a lack of knowledge of what their investing options are.

Idea

To show the power of options, we created a world without them.

Exploring a cityscape full of dull browns, muted blues, and no options in sight, this campaign imagines a world devoid of choice. The multi-channel effort spanned television, digital video, and social, reminding investors:

Life is Better With Options.
Your Investments Could Be Too.
