Kenny Sebastian and Atul Khatri talk about 'fikar-free' living in Tata AIA ads
The campaign was created by Admatazz
Tata AIA Life Insurance (Tata AIA) has unveiled a campaign featuring stand-up comedians Atul Khatri and Kenny Sebastian. The duo educates consumers about the importance and key benefits to avail when it comes to life insurance solutions. They also convey effectively how Tata AIA Term insurance plans can protect consumers to enable them to lead a fikar-free life.
Many consumers are aware of term insurance as a means to financial security, however, many fail to take full advantage of such solutions, being unaware of the benefits, e.g. 40+ critical illness coverage or whole life cover (up to 100 years). Some consumers believe that term insurance goes waste if the policyholder survives the policy period. What they don’t know is that some term insurance plans, including Tata AIA, return more than 100% of the premium paid, when a policyholder survives the term insurance coverage period. Further, consumers are often poorly advised on how much coverage they need, to protect themselves and their loved ones ending up with inadequate coverage (<10X of their annual income).
Tata AIA’s new campaign focuses on these less-known facts, highlighting them in a humorous way. It thus breaks away from the traditional insurance communication that is serious and dry. Instead, the brand communicates the message in an educational and entertaining way.
Commenting on the campaign, Girish Kalra, Chief Marketing Officer, Tata AIA Life Insurance, said, “At Tata AIA, we are committed to empowering consumers and equip them with the right financial advice and insurance solutions. To communicate these important aspects, we thought of going unconventional and partnered with Atul Khatri and Kenny Sebastian, two outstanding names in the stand-up comedy world. We are sure that our campaign and consumer-centric life insurance solutions will enable our consumers to be ‘har waqt ke liye taiyaar’ and lead a ‘fikar-free’ life.”
The task of creating the campaign was entrusted to the digital marketing and advertising agency, Admatazz. Sharing his experience Yash Chandiramani, Founder and Chief Strategist, said, "We had an absolute blast conceptualising and executing this campaign. The brief was very clear and based on strong insights. We had to unlearn a lot of advertising for this campaign as the films had to be as native as possible. It's exciting to see a life insurance brand take a not-so-serious route in India and we are even more excited to be playing a part in it.”
Protection-focused products such as Term insurance go a long way in financially securing one’s loved ones in the absence of the chief bread earner. In the Retail protection segment, Tata AIA has continued to strengthen its leadership position. The Company registered a market share of 28% in retail sum assured amongst private insurers for the third quarter ending December 2023, making it the #1 in this category.
