Niva Bupa appoints Leo Burnett

Health Insurance Company, Niva Bupa (formerly Max Bupa Health Insurance Company), has appointed Leo Burnett as its advertising agency. The account was won following a multi-agency pitch. 

 

The brand transitioned from Max Bupa to Niva Bupa last year.

 

The agency's mandate is to help the brand create work that gives people more control over their health and well-being.

 

Nimish Agrawal, senior vice president and head - marketing, Niva Bupa Health Insurance, said, “At Niva Bupa we are evangelising insurance for freedom and not constraints and the brand philosophy around 'claiming life' captures the brand mission. There is a massive need to simplify the category and lift the category narrative to be more positive and empowering. During our interaction we found the approach of Leo Burnett to be bold yet extremely intuitive and in line with our vision for the brand and are delighted to partner with them.”

 

Dheeraj Sinha, CEO, Leo Burnett, South Asia and chairperson BBH India, said, “The health insurance category has come into sharp focus owing to the pandemic. Niva Bupa being one of the leaders in this segment offers some of the most comprehensive products making health insurance more accessible to all. We look forward to partnering with them to enhance consumer understanding about the benefits of health insurance using data, technology and creativity; encouraging everyone to take a health-first approach.”

 

Samir Gangahar, head - North, Leo Burnett, added, “This is a fantastic opportunity for us to create conversation around a category that has immense growth potential. The brand needs a strong communication plan that addresses their business problems backed by new age thinking and creative solutions. We are looking forward to working together with the team.”
