  • Is a reality check for Indians in these challenging times

    Isobar creates film for Max Bupa

    By A Correspondent

     

    Max Bupa Health Insurance, one of India’s leading standalone health insurance players, has launched a fresh 360-degree brand campaign, #AbNahiKharidogeToKab?. The campaign introduces a comprehensive health insurance cover of Rs 30 lakh at a monthly premium of only Rs 620.

     

    As part of the campaign, Isobar India has conceptualised and executed a digital film for Max Bupa.

     

    Talking about the campaign, Anika Agarwal, Director, CMO & Director – Digital Business, Max Bupa said: “We launched the #AbNahiKharidogeToKab? campaign to highlight health insurance as an absolute necessity and priority for everyone, especially now when Covid-19 cases are rapidly increasing in the country and medical costs are skyrocketing.  Health and protection have become the key themes for consumers in these times and the awareness of health insurance as a category is at an all-time high. So, the need for us as a brand to communicate effectively with consumers that this is the right time to buy health insurance, was key. The film also highlights the value-for-money health insurance proposition from Max Bupa, which is a prudent choice for customers in these trying times. We believe that Isobar has put across the point wonderfully through the digital rendition of the film.”

     

    Sharing his views on the campaign, Gopa Kumar, COO, Isobar India added: “If this year has taught us one thing, it’s that Health Comes First and that we should be prepared at all times with the right tools to protect our health. That’s the kind of awareness we wanted to generate amongst the audience with #AbNahiKharidogeToKab?. We wanted to strongly encourage health-first thinking and establish that health insurance is now more important than ever. It is a necessity of today that cannot be put off till tomorrow anymore. So, with our digital film and communication, we created that sense of urgency by giving health insurance an equal prominence as we give to masks today.”

     

     

  • Home video shot by Boman Irani highlights pressing need for a comprehensive health insurance cover

    Max Bupa asks people to invest in health insurance

    By A Correspondent

     

    Max Bupa has announced a 360-degree brand campaign to drive home the importance of having a health insurance cover. The campaign poses the question – Ab nahin khareedoge to kab?, implying that health insurance is an absolute necessity and priority for everyone, especially when Covid-19 cases are rapidly increasing in the country and medical costs are skyrocketing.

     

    Said Anika Agarwal, Director – Marketing & Direct Digital Business, Max Bupa Health Insurance: “Covid-19 has made people realise the significance of a health plan, unlike earlier when health insurance was considered an optional expense especially by the younger age segment. People across life stages are now more willing to buy adequate health coverage for themselves and their loved ones. Max Bupa’s recently conducted Covid-19 survey also indicates that people have become more concerned about their health and have regularly enquired about coronavirus treatment in health insurance plans. Hence, our intent with the campaign is to create awareness and further establish this need, so that consumers do not procrastinate health insurance purchase and buy a suitable health insurance plan. We have featured Boman Irani, a trusted voice who is encouraging people to take the right decision, to drive a simple message – ‘This is the most appropriate time to buy health insurance!’. The pandemic has made people take their health seriously, but a message of urgency for health insurance is needed. We therefore felt the need for a campaign that would strike a chord with most Indian households to bring about a mind shift to invest in Health Insurance.”

     

    The campaign has been jointly designed by Dentsu Impact and Isobar. Added Anupama Ramaswamy, National Creative Director at Dentsu Impact: “The fact remains that at a time like this, no matter how many rules you follow, you still need to be prepared for everything that’s not in your direct control. We wanted to highlight that stress is the prevailing emotion these days in most people, and one of the ways you could possibly lighten the load in your mind is by getting a health insurance. In the film, Boman Irani has effortlessly brought the message on the importance of a health cover in the light of Covid-19 pandemic.”

     

    Said Gopa Kumar, Chief Operating Officer at Isobar said, “The current COVID-19 situation has been an eye-opener for all of us that there’s always a possibility for the unexpected to happen. However, what we can do on our part is to stay prepared for it. With Ab nahin khareedoge to kab?, we are putting the spotlight back on the inevitable importance of health insurance in everyday life. Just like masks, gloves, sanitizers, etc., have become health essentials, we want to make health insurance also a part of that checklist. We hope that the film makes the audience realize urgency of the situation and inspires them to insure their health.”

The sisters are the first point of contact for our customers and they truly reflect the purpose and promise for which the brand stands for. This Rakshabandhan, Max Bupa would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude towards all the sisters. Through the digital film we have tried to depict the true essence and contribution of the sisters towards the physical and emotional well-being of patients. We urge each of you to share this film, to spread the message and celebrate the extraordinary contribution of these sisters.”

     

    Speaking about the film, Bodh Deb, Vice President and Branch Head, Autumn Grey added: “Max Bupa Health Insurance has not only been a thought leader but has always believed in championing the cause of silent heroes in the health care space. We wanted to come up with an idea for them that resonated this very belief system with the right intent and utmost honesty. The thought of #SabKiSister came from the insight that nurses are the unsung heroes of healthcare. Hence, we wanted to create a campaign celebrating the nurses and when we were thinking which the best moment for it was, we realized that Raksha Bandhan was around the corner and that was the day when people celebrate sisters. We wanted to celebrate the selfless caregivers who create bonds not of blood but of love.”
