Apollo Munich's 'Uncomplicated' claim: too simple? | India General ...

Do they make Health Insurance uncomplicated? Recently, Bharti Axa General Insurance took a similar stance – attempting to re-position competitive offers as insensitive towards the consumer and Bharti Axa as the one that takes the stress out of insurance . They outlined the promise of ‘cashless facility’ and ‘no medical checkups upto 55 years of age’ as the justification for the claim. Such promises (in fact similar promises) get a mention in the press ad. Yet the simplicity and starkness of the print ad execution makes it work.

Does the same idea & personality get transferred on to the other touch points? Can’t say from the website since it is not ready yet. I would imagine the financial services segment relies heavily on information from the company website, online reviews and blog posts to form an opinion and make the final decision on purchase. The website (designed by Quasar ) only points to the old website of Apollo DKV , which naturally has no reference to the new claim.

The TVC is slick, well executed (India’s first locally produced installation-art based film, say the YouTube blurb)  but again – only offers claims: let’s take the fear out of faces, jargon out of words, bitter out of medicine and the trouble out of treatment. And the shiny-happy people kind of treatment is very different from the no-nonsense, business like competitive stance of the print ad.
