    Aegon Life has launched a new campaign #NoTermPlanLikeThis along with a TVC starring its brand ambassador Vicky Kaushal. The campaign focuses on the launch of Aegon Life’s recently unveiled iTerm plan and its benefits including return of sum assured, auto-increase in life cover, quit smoking, amongst others.

     

    On the launch of this campaign, Mandeep Singh Gulati, Head of Marketing and Customer Experience, Aegon Life Insurance said: “We are glad to offer a product that plugs in the need gap of providing a life cover with  survival benefit. That is exactly the premise our campaign is based on. The storyline and Vicky Kaushal have come together very beautifully to explain the benefits of the product to our customers. The campaign showcases us as a young, evolving and dynamic brand that we are, with a promise to continue and serve our customers by offering the best-suited life insurance solutions.”

     

    Added Punit Sheth, Senior Vice President, Content, Times Studio: “The concept is built to break the seriousness and complexity that exists around insurance buying today.  Aegon Life as a brand has always had a distinct tone to appeal to the new millennial buyers. So in the latest commercial we have re-imagined an otherwise boring tele-caller conversation in to a fun banter on a catchy beat. It addresses two critical mental blocks that millennials have while buying insurance through Vicky Kaushal”.

    By A Correspondent

     

    Aegon Life has launched its latest campaign #NoTension. The intent of the campaign is to establish the need for millennials to become self-dependant when purchasing insurance, without postponing the act for yet another day. To embody the above Aegon Life has roped in actor Vicky Kaushal. The campaign has been created by Brand Capital’s Brand Strategy team.

     

    On the launch of this campaign, Vineet Arora, MD & CEO, Aegon Life Insurance said: “Our new campaign brings to forefront that stress is a major concern in today’s time and while everything else remains uncertain, protecting your loved ones and their dreams should not be a reason to take tension. The campaign urges the new generation to not procrastinate and advises to act right away.” He further adds, “We are delighted to welcome Vicky Kaushal to the Aegon Life family. He bears a close resemblance to the brand as a young, evolving, dynamic, confident and independent individual and is the best fit for the campaign.”

     

    Adding to this, Sam Subramaniam, CEO, Brand Capital, said: “Aegon Life has always approached marketing insurance products to the millennial audience in a unique and differentiated way.  In many ways Aegon Life is the only “Millennials First” Insurance Company in India.  We at Brand Capital are delighted to be a key shareholder in Aegon Life and to also provide marketing support through our Brand Strategy team”.

The theme of the campaign – #iDecide – is to sensitize the audience that a decision as big as protecting your loved ones should not be left to others. Through this campaign, we want to directly communicate with our audience and enable them to take their own financial decisions like insuring their loved ones.”
