‘Life. Well lived.’ We’re delighted to share our new commercial which celebrates the joy that can come from financial security in retirement!   “Challenger wanted to showcase their customers with a zest for life and a youthful disposition, so we set off to create a piece that allowed our main characters to dance like no one is watching. The shoot was a great collaboration with our three talent as they let their own individual dance style shine. We wanted to capture a sense of ease and joy that is such a celebration of twilight years and I think we managed to pull it off!” - Annelise Hickey, filmmaker.  Thank you to Annelise Hickey, Josie Baynes and the team at WILDEBEEST for a wonderful collaboration.  #lifewelllived #retirementincome
