  • Highlights role of family and timely financial planning in overcoming challenges

    HDFC Life unveils new campaign

    By Our Staff

     

    HDFC Life Insurance has launched its latest brand campaign based on the core idea that ‘protection starts with self’. With this campaign, HDFC Life takes its brand promise ‘Sar utha ke jiyo’ a step further by delving deeper into the concept of ‘protection’. It highlights the need to ensure that we are able to secure our loved ones from any downfall in life while also securing their future.

     

    Speaking on the campaign, Vishal Subharwal, Chief Marketing Officer and Head E-commerce & Digital Business, HDFC Life, said: “Our aim has always been to showcase narratives that are engaging and relevant to our audiences. Last year’s campaign focused on the resilience of students and families amidst the challenges of the pandemic. This year, we have focused on the need for students to own their identities irrespective of how others perceive them. Family plays a critical role in enabling youngsters to recognise their self-worth and also in securing their future financially. This resonates with our philosophy of financially securing individuals and enabling them to face life’s uncertainties. It reinforces the need to be financially secure and prepare our future generation to cope with life’s challenges and uncertainties and live with pride.”

     

    Added Rajdeepak Das, CEO & Chief Creative Officer – South Asia, Leo Burnett: “In today’s world we often see the youth struggling with their identity of who they are and where they belong. Our film narrates one such heart-warming story where a father not only gives his daughter the financial confidence to pursue her dreams but more importantly gives her the emotional support to stay true to herself. A valuable message that will resonate well, especially with the youth – Sar utha ke jiyo!”

     

  • Basis campaign on real-life experience

    HDFC Life launches film to emphasise personal insurance

    By Our Staff

     

    HDFC Life Insurance has launched a campaign focussing on term life insurance. The film is based on the real-life story of Shail Gaurav, who is a Covid-19 survivor and also a policyholder of HDFC Life.

     

    Speaking on the campaign launch, Vishal Subharwal, CMO and Head E-commerce & Digital Business, HDFC Life, said: “Enabling the family’s financial security in one’s absence is an important task. Recent experiences of untimely deaths have accentuated this need. The purchase of term life insurance is linked to a harsh reality, and it is human nature to avoid unpleasant conversations. Through our campaign, we see the product from the eyes of a survivor. We believe this could be a wake-up call for those individuals who have not yet realised the criticality of term life insurance or are still procrastinating about having one. We also encourage the young working Indians to secure themselves and their families financially at a nominal cost.”

     

    Added Rajdeepak Das, CEO & Chief Creative Officer – South Asia, Leo Burnett: “HDFC Life has always focused on the importance of planning to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances. Our latest film reiterates this message. Taking inspiration from a true story, the film narrates through a heart-warming father-child moment, no matter how uncertain the future maybe, you can secure your loved ones through timely financial planning.”
