    Commenting on the choice of theme, Ajay Kakar, Chief Marketing Officer – Aditya Birla Capital added: “A brand is like a personality with attributes and a purpose. It comes alive not just by what you see on TV or on billboards but by the way you experience the brand.

We are here to enable individuals to protect what they value; to invest so they can live a life they aspire to live; and to finance their dreams, needs and desires. We want to build this into a brand such that whenever a customer thinks of money, they think of us.

  • With this new campaign, Bharti Axa General Insurance aims to spread awareness and drive conversation among the millennials that relying only on luck is not the smartest choice

    Bharti Axa champions planned investment in latest digital campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Bharti Axa General Insurance has announced the launch of its new digital campaign – “Luck pe bharosa chhodo aur Insurance se nata jodo”.

     

    While describing the concept, Upendra Namburi, Chief Innovation and Marketing Officer, Bharti AXA General Insurance said: “Each one strives and saves hard earned money to create assets for themselves. However, when it comes to assuring protection of these assets many Indians still believe in superstition and luck. Similarly, in case of health as well, not many protect themselves against unexpected medical emergencies, instead follow unreliable methods. With this insight and behaviour, we have developed our new campaign that aims to educate the makers of tomorrow about the need and importance of asset and health protection. The campaign targets millennials of today who take a more balanced view towards life. At Bharti AXA General Insurance, customer-centricity is at the heart of evert initiative and we shall continue to develop innovative solutions and ideas to bring alive our offerings.”

     

    The campaign went live last week and will be supported by content and influencer partnerships along with on ground activities to engage with the audience.

    Maruti Suzuki commences “#PehniKya?”

    By A Correspondent

     

    Even though the Motor Vehicles Act makes it mandatory for every occupant of a vehicle to be secured by seat belts, there is a general apathy and lack of awareness among road users. In fact reportedly over 5600 lives could have been saved last year through use of seatbelts.

     

    In a bid to promote awareness towards seat belt usage and help reduce fatalities on the road, Maruti Suzuki is rolling out the #PehniKya? campaign. This initiative will also be aimed at driving a positive change in the country’s driving behaviour and building an awareness towards safety.

    By A Correspondent

     

    Ogilvy Mumbai has created a series of digital ads featuring only dogs for Reliance General Insurance. To be run on YouTube, the three videos highlight features like flat-tyre assistance, free towing facilities and emergency fuel assistance.

     

    Sharing the thinking behind the campaign, Burzin Mehta, Group Creative Director, Ogilvy Mumbai, said: “Breaking the clutter in a rather uni-dimensional category like insurance has never been easy. More so, when you’re targeting young digital natives. The thought of a having an all-canine cast was inspired by the amazing popularity of cute animal videos on the internet. And for the first time we picked the cast before we penned the scripts. Gauging by the response, that may not be such a bad idea.”
