Peak driving hours + sponsorships on traffic updates. - Print: positioning after a car ad in high affinity business & niche titles as well as motor titles targeting the insurance sector. - Online: Activation was based on search, associated to cars & motoring in additional to a targeted display campaign

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

The motor insurance sector in ME region had an enormous lack of consumer engagement, in addition to consumers not being aware of the importance of motor insurance. Although AXA Gulf has been present in the region for some time, AXA Motor Insurance was recently introduced, and its presence and brand awareness were low in a region where auto insurance is a very competitive field. The focus was primarily on the high net-worth expat community where, due to AXA’s worldwide awareness, they would have a greater market penetration. AXA had to increase its awareness by spreading its message together with its benefits. - Follow the prosumers (proactive consumers) across all media: Catch them in their most receptive state of mind & rely on them to lead all consumers.
