In sync with the trend followed by BFSI brands to make the most of JFM 2020, Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance has put forth a musically humorous campaign. The insurance brand hopes to leverage various digital trends to go big in 2020. This includes vernacular content, moment marketing, and personalisation. In conversation with Social Samosa, Abhishek Gupta tells us more about the Edelweiss Tokio marketing strategy.
Edelweiss Tokio Life has kickstarted 2020 with the #AbIndiaBachayega campaign. How do you hope for it to help the brand as a part of the Edelweiss Tokio marketing strategy?
2020 marked the beginning of a new decade and we wanted our first campaign to reflect that enthusiasm and optimism. We conventionally refrain from using negative narratives traditionally used in the sector. Thus, this campaign is fun, groovy and succinctly captures the importance of savings. Through its light-hearted tonality, it seeks to convey that financial planning can be easy and need not be as dull as often perceived.
