    By A Correspondent

     

    SBI Life Insurance has launched its latest integrated brand campaign ‘Apno ki #HimmatWaliSeeti’ that reiterates the power of family support in reinstating individual’s belief in himself/herself. The brand campaign encourages individuals to pursue their passion responsibly, by first making life insurance a financial priority to secure the needs of their loved ones.

     

    Said Ravindra Sharma, Chief of Brand & Corporate Communications, SBI Life Insurance: “In our society, family continues to be the bedrock of support and our communication seeks to highlight the strength of family support. Especially in today’s challenging times family support plays a fundamental role in shaping an individual’s well-being, it acts as a de-pressuring agent in life. Our new brand campaign ‘Apno ki #HimmatWaliSeeti’ attempts to communicate a strong message that with the support and encouragement of the family one can wholeheartedly pursue their dreams and ambitions. He further added, “Through this campaign we aim to support every individual in securing their family’s well-being in a better way, without compromising on their dreams.”

     

    Added Garima Khandelwal (CCO) and Azazul Haque (CCO), Mullen Lintas India: “Life Insurance is seen as a responsibility towards one’s loved ones, and we wanted to start a new dialogue about the reason for Life insurance for today’s shifting landscape. The shift about the category with this campaign is that our loved ones are not our responsibility, but our biggest strength, our biggest cheerleaders, and we don’t need to endure a life doing what we don’t love to see them happy, to see them taken care of. Life is about going after your dreams, our loved ones still taken care of. We have a story of a girl learning to whistle so she can cheer for her father as she witnesses him most happy, most content when he’s pursuing what he loves to do.”

  • SBI Life takes ‘Thanks A Dot’ to rural India

    By A Correspondent

     

    On World Health Day, SBI Life Insurance organised ‘Thanks A Dot’, a Breast Cancer awareness drive in Sonepat, Haryana. Research indicates that one in three women in rural India have not heard of the deadly disease and as many as 90 per cent are unaware of the possibility of self- breast examination. More than 60 women along with a few men of the village attended the workshop and all of them received the ‘Thanks-A-Dot’ kit free of cost.

     

    Taking the initiative to the rural interiors, Ravindra Sharma, Chief of Brand & Corporate Communications, SBI Life Insurance said: “Breast cancer is most common in women and can be cured if detected at an early stage. Most women in rural areas neglect their health and delay in seeking medical advice early because of unawareness, illiteracy, myths or superstition and many a times, due to financial constraints. It is imperative for these women to have deeper understanding and awareness of the symptoms of this disease. Therefore, we took ‘Thanks-A-Dot’ initiative to the rural interiors to create awareness and encourage every woman to spur a positive conversation about self-breast examination among each other and get away with sense of hesitation.”

     

    Said Rajiv Dingra, Founder and CEO, WatConsult, “Recent studies indicate that 1 in 3 women in rural India have not even heard of breast cancer and unfortunately, 90% of them are unaware of the possibility of self- breast examination. This clearly highlights the lack of awareness in these areas and the need for women in rural India to understand the nuances of breast cancer, the prevention methods and the necessary steps to be taken. With Thanks a Dot, we reached out to a village in Haryana to initiate the positive conversation around breast health.”

  • SBI Life’s new TVC urges people to fulfil their wishes

    By A Correspondent

     

    SBI Life launched the latest TVC titled ‘Ab har shouk poora hoga’ (now every wish will be fulfilled), taking forward the brand’s core idea of – Celebrating Life, wherein the protagonist indulges himself in the most unexpected way for its product SBI Life Insurance’s Wealth Plan. The campaign aims to amplify the idea of not having to compromise one’s desires in order to save for the future.

     

    Created by Ogilvy & Mather, the campaign amplifies the idea of not having to compromise your desires in order to save for the future. One half of our life is spent in working hard and saving harder in order to secure the other half. No wonder that insurance communications have always pegged around the later aspect on how to secure our family’s life once we have no income. Given the clutter, the communication of SBI Life Insurance’s Wealth Plan is distinctly refreshing.

     

    “The campaign very beautifully captures the sheer pleasure one experiences while indulging in luxury, with a touch of humour to it. It shows how SBI Life’s Wealth Creation with Insurance Plans lead one to prosperity and a life full of indulgence,” says Braj Kishore, Head- Brand & Corporate Communication, SBI Life Insurance.

     

    Explaining the campaign, Zenobia Pithawalla, Executive Creative Director, O&M, says: “The common man in India spends his whole life and money on every day, mundane things. We wanted to show him, through SBI Life’s Wealth with Insurance Plans, that life can be different.Our film shows a common man indulging in an expensive hair wash at a very fancy salon. What’s more, all this for a few, non-existent strands of hair. Making our point that with the right plan, you can live life the way it is really meant to be lived.”

     

    Abhik Santara, Senior Vice-President, O&M, says: “The communication task for any financial product is duel. First is to create excitement for the product and the second is brand persuasion. Our campaign, hopefully, will make the category ‘interestingly’ desirable without making one grim with future anxiety.”

     

  • ‘Are you a Great Dad?’, quizzes SBI Life through new campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    SBI Life Insurance has launched its new brand campaign by O&M Advertising that questions the responsible parent in all of us, by asking the pertinent question, ‘Are you a Great Dad?’ The TVC takes one through the journey of an army man who is questioning himself – has he truly been a good father to his child?

     

    The film opens on the army man back from duty waiting longingly outside his child’s school to receive him. The son on seeing his father rushes into his arms and they exchange a big warm hug. The film continues with the father and son enjoying playful moments together, before the mother interrupts to get the child ready for school. It is followed by the child polishing his shoes, imitating his father’s every action. The film finally ends on the child about to fall asleep on the sofa while reading a story book and the father coming in just in time to cushion his fall. Throughout the film we hear the voice of the army man wondering if he has been a great dad.

     

    Braj Kishore, Head – Brand and Corporate Communication, SBI Life Insurance said: “The need of the hour is to get consumers to buy Insurance for the right reason which is Protection. Being market leaders we felt it was important to make people realize that it is not only what they do when they are around that makes them a responsible and great parent but even after they are gone. Buying Life insurance can secure the future of their loved ones and ensure that the family is well looked after. Our new campaign sets out to remind people of just that.”

     

    Abhik Santara, Senior Vice President, O&M Advertising – Mumbai said: “A lot of insurance brands use fear psychosis to sell their product. We felt it was necessary to communicate the importance of being insured but in a refreshing, relevant and endearing manner. The thoughts running through the mind of the army man are thoughts that every father can relate to. We wanted young fathers to introspect if they were doing enough for the well-being of their family, especially when they are gone.”
