Considering the significant increase in the usage of wellness and health-oriented apps recently, we have introduced this new feature of ‘Calorie Scan’, which will act as a counter and encourage the user to stick to their recommended calorie budget. ICICI Lombard aims to offer not only comprehensive coverage to our consumers but also innovative solutions to them, thereby serving as a partner in the customer’s wellness journey.”

    By A Correspondent

     

    ICICI Lombard has unveiled a digital campaign highlighting the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol. It conveys this message in a powerful way through the acts and innocent comment of a child as protagonist in the communication. Conceptualised and executed by Viscomm 360 Communications, ICICI Lombard’s creative agency, the video is being promoted across ICICI Lombard’ss social media assets and digital platforms.

     

    Said Sanjeev Mantri, Executive Director, ICICI Lombard: “At ICICI Lombard, we believe it is extremely important to alert consumers on the risks associated with drunk driving, which has historically seen a surge during New Year’s Eve. Our latest campaign, focused on this aspect, harnesses a critical insight about children. They are deeply influenced by our action and way of thinking and in fact mirror our acts in their daily life. Our latest campaign harnesses this insight to convey the ‘Don’t drink and drive’ message in an emotional, yet hard hitting manner. As a brand, we are committed to contributing to the road safety agenda through such campaigns as well as our CSR initiative ‘Ride To Safety’ wherein we have distributed over 75,000 helmets to two-wheeler owning parents and their children riding as pillion riders.”

     

    Added Devashree Desai, Associate Creative Director, Viscomm 360: “Our film attempts to raise awareness on the subject of ‘Drinking and Driving’ in a more subtle yet striking manner. The team took a creative leap from the obvious by reflecting the impact of our actions on the impressionable minds of our children. Our aim was to strike an emotional chord with the TG in a more realistic and holistic manner.”

     

     

  • ICICI Lombard’s latest campaign showcases the real employee heroes

     

     

    ICICI Lombard has launched a new corporate campaign that highlights its technology solutions with a human touch.

     

    Said Sanjeev Mantri, Executive Director, ICICI Lombard General Insurance on the campaign: “In today’s times, technology is an integral part of everything that we do. As an insurer, it helps us develop innovative, first-to-market solutions that set new benchmarks in the insurance space. However, technology can be cold and impersonal and when it comes to seeking help in the hour of need, customers always look for the human touch. For us, technology is not the primary solution, but an enabler for our team to help our customers, whenever they need our support. The campaign effectively communicates this thought by showcasing our employees, those who burn the midnight oil to introduce these innovative and customer friendly solutions”.

     

    Added Talha Bin Mohsin and Mahesh Parab, Group Creative Directors, Ogilvy & Mather: “ICICI Lombard’s communication has always been driven by its customer-centric values of keeping promises no matter how difficult. But this time it was a bit different. We wanted to tell customers that we keep our promises. This is only possible when the company is driven by technology that in turn is driven by empathy of our employees towards our customers and their evolving needs. The result – stories of our technologies helping our customers and the real men and women of ICICI Lombard behind those technological innovations.”

  • iProspect executes digital video for ICICI Lombard

    By A Correspondent

     

    iProspect India has conceptualised and executed a digital video for ICICI Lombard General Insurance in their latest campaign on two-wheeler insurance. The video reinforces the need for awareness and timely purchase of a long-term two-wheeler insurance plan.

     

    The two-and-a-half minute video captures the reactions of a handful of people from different age groups, genders and backgrounds, returning to a two-wheeler basement parking after a couple of hours only to see huge scratches on their respective bikes. They spend tense moments wondering how this happened and because of whom, and are shown to ask for the security guard to question him as anyone typically would in such a situation. They eventually breathe a sigh of relief later when they realize that it’s only a sticker pasted onto their two-wheeler and not a real mark – bringing a smile onto their faces. The message after removing the sticker is as below.

     

    Commenting on the initiative, Sanjeev Mantri, Executive Director, ICICI Lombard said, “India has over 16 crore two wheelers registered with the transport authorities today. While this is an impressive number, nearly 70% of two-wheelers ply on roads without any insurance cover. At ICICI Lombard, we believe it is imperative for us to lead efforts towards addressing this issue of abysmally low insurance and ensure that vehicle owners are protected from any exigencies. We are encouraged by the response to our initiatives in the social media space in this regard. We will continue to innovate and develop effective communication tools and thereby ensure that our customers and their vehicles are well protected with comprehensive insurance policies.”

     

    Expressing his views on the campaign, Vivek Bhargava, CEO, iProspect India said, “In the recent past we have increased our focus on generating creative digital solutions, especially through engaging content and storytelling. The ICICI Lombard video is a great example of our efforts on this front. Digital as a medium grabs maximum eyeballs, more so with respect to generating shareable content that audiences can relate to and has scope to go viral. This not just leaves an impression on the viewer, but also helps in driving purchase intent. Digital has become the driver of most brand campaigns and this is only slated to grow.”
