AIA NZ rethinks life and health insurance through new brand campaign

Invigorating brand promise

According to a report, the campaign platform started on Sunday and featured short-form AV content across multiple TV, digital, and social channels. It also noted that the campaign was complemented by interactive and high-impact digital placements. For this rethinking, AIA NZ collaborated with Bastion Shine, a generation consultancy, and it was approached across strategy and planning, creative, design, and studio in conjunction with AIA’s media partner Together.

“Since AIA NZ launched AIA Vitality, our science-backed health and wellbeing programme, [in] mid-2019, we have been steadily building momentum and brand awareness in New Zealand. We are really pleased with the work that the Bastion Shine team has done to help invigorate our brand promise of helping New Zealanders live healthier, longer, better lives, and to support our aspiration to be a market leading brand that matches our industry position as New Zealand’s leading life insurer,” AIA NZ chief customer officer Angela Busby said.

Bastion Shine chief strategy officer Andy McLeish said that the agency loved the disruptive approach to life and health insurance embodied by AIA Vitality, noting that this new reframing helps people stay healthy through health insurance, and live better through life insurance.

“This new creative platform is based around the idea of ‘start thriving’ and highlights how many of us are perhaps not making the most of every day. But with some small changes we can all start thriving and get more out of life,” he said.

AIA NZ has recently appointed a new coach for AIA Vitality, with Katie Hunter joining the insurer’s primary health program.
