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

        We know that many people see insurance as a gamble where they put money in and
        only see a return if they experience an unlikely disaster. But insurance
        enables people to achieve life’s possibilities, or “ifs”. By bringing people
        together MetLife provides a valuable service for society. MetLife makes dreams
        possible by allowing people to join a pool and form their own personal safety
        net.  
         
        So, to demystify insurance, and show that it is not a gamble, the following
        video was created.  Using a catchy tune and colorful animated images the
        simple beauty of insurance is made clear.
