Standard Life – It’s My Life


Here is a new 2022 advert from Standard Life titled ‘Old Pensions’. The commercial explains how people can accumulate multiple pensions over time making them difficult to keep track of.

A voice-over tells viewers that “on average, people change jobs every 5 years, that could mean quite a few old pensions… all in different places”. We follow a man appearing to walk through his various occupations over the years.

The ad then suggests to viewers “why not get them under control today” by bringing them all together into one plan with Standard Life
