CG Insurance, the largest insurance provider in the Caribbean has produced a music video. The song by former cricketer, Dwayne Bravo (DJ Bravo), is part of the campaign, Insuring the Spirit of West Indies Cricket, for the brand’s sponsorship of the West Indies Cricket team at the T20 World Cup, being hosted by the Caribbean and the US.
This is the story behind it:
Dwayne Bravo was instrumental in the West Indies’ ICC T20 World Cup victories in 2012 and 2016. His hit song, Champion, became a global sensation during the 2016 ICC World Twenty20. Now, he has teamed up with CG’s Aunt Angie with an original song, West Indies Deyah, that is live on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, iTunes, and Instagram), a rallying cry for West Indies fans across the islands.
The music video was shot by Gil Green, who is known for creating music videos for DJ Khaled, Jason Derulo, Pitbull, Camila Cabello, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Rick Ross, among others. Grammy-winner Troyton Rami mixed and mastered the song at Black Shadow Studios Miami.
The campaign is the first that Chemistry has launched for the Cricket West Indies partnership with CG. In 2023, Chemistry created the first brand character in the Caribbean space, Aunt Angie, for CG. The campaign also includes a TV spot, The Greats, that pays homage to the cricketing greats past, present, and future. Recent and old match footage is woven together of the greatest Windies players with footage of future legends, local Bajan kids, to make it look and feel like the kids are facing off with their heroes.
The spot was shot in Barbados, a CG market where the T20 World Cup finals will be played. The kids in the campaign all play for former West Indies player and legend, Franklyn Stephenson’s Cricket Academy. The voiceover is done by Michael Holding, a Jamaican former fast bowler and commentator who played for the West Indies cricket team.
The full campaign covers TV, CTV, OLV, OOH, radio, and social across the 21 jurisdictions. On June 21, ahead of the World Cup Finals, DJ Bravo and Aunt Angie will have a live concert performance.
