  • Leo Burnett Orchard executes latest ad film for Acko

    By A Correspondent

     

    Online general insurance brand Acko has launched its latest marketing campaign. Conceptualised and created by Leo Burnett Orchard, the campaign revolves around how Acko has transformed the critical car insurance purchasing process into one that’s quick, easy and fits one’s budget.

     

    Said Kavita Chowkimane – VP Marketing at Acko: “Consumers are bombarded with too many choices today. They want to pick the best one but at the same time, avoid the cognitive load when it’s not worth the hassle. Our campaign is inspired by the thought of simplifying this decision for the value-conscious but time-poor consumer. Buying an insurance policy does not need to be such a taxing process & we think Acko is definitely a no-brainer choice.”

     

    Added Prashanth Challapalli, COO, Leo Burnett Orchard: “The relationship between a man and his car is a fascinating one. Irrespective of how much the car costs, you care for it and also take it for granted. Anything that is critical to the everyday running of the car is always a priority. Anything that is under the hood is taken for granted and usually becomes hassle to get done. Our story is a classic argument between a car that is upset at being taken for granted and the guy who is trying his best to remedy a bad situation.”
