Dialogo Publicidad - Buenos Aires, Argentina

Client: ANSWER RSA Group

Having been in the market for many years, ANSWER RSA, an auto insurance company, decided to carry out a new research project on what type of services users look for in an insurance company. The result was clear: middle class and upper class Argentines (our target group) look for an answer. That means, in this category, an insurance company that responds.

The challenge was to get this new positioning with a limited budget for outdoor reinforced by other alternative media such as radio, to communicate the new brand identity.

The campaign.

To achieve this goal we decided not to use the classic testimonial ads where people say they feel protected.  We worked on the following concept: When you have an insurance company that answers, problems become smaller. With this claim the idea was to position the company from a more rational than emotional point of view. Without losing the prestige and credit that the brand had achieved over the years, we could open a new share in the auto insurance market as the company “that answers”.

The result

The repositioning work was good and the results proved it. Not only did we achieve the goals set for the campaign, we exceeded them by far.  The number of calls increased 53% more than expected in a quarter, and the number of policies purchased rose by 27%.

Incidentally, during the launch of the campaign, Buenos Aires experienced an historic hailstorm that luckily, resulted only in material damages. This however helped our graphic campaign (Hail) to be remembered and allowed the company to show, by performance, their advertising promise.
