Affleck and Aflac. It was only a matter of time.

Aflac and Artists Equity have unveiled a new partnership starring Ben Affleck alongside the Aflac Duck for the first time on screen. The campaign, announced Sept. 5, 2026 in Columbus, Georgia, follows a tease via graffiti-tagged billboards across Los Angeles and is directed by Affleck. Set as a 360-brand effort combining entertainment and education, the commercials aim to clarify that Aflac provides supplemental financial protection for expenses not covered by health insurance. The first spot, “Green Room,” features Aflac and longtime partners Nick Saban, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders and Dawn Staley giving Affleck an impromptu briefing. Aflac’s president and marketing leaders say the collaboration is designed to turn name recognition into renewed consumer understanding.
