    # say ‘YES’ to health campaign: Cigna TTK

    MUMBAI: Cigna TTK Health Insurance, a joint venture between U.S. based global health service leader, Cigna Corporation (NYSE:CI) and Indian conglomerate TTK Group, today unveiled the  # say ‘YES’  to health campaign.

    Improving the health, well-being and sense of security of the people we serve is an imperative at Cigna TTK Health Insurance. This is the underlying philosophy of everything we do. Right from the design of the products to the way we deliver them.  A deep dive into the consumer mindsets showed that when a consumer is planning to buy health insurance, there are many questions and apprehensions in their minds on the benefits of health insurance – leaving consumers with a feeling that when the moment of truth arrives they may not benefit. Cigna TTK’s brand strategy has been to partner their consumer in illness and in wellness. In this campaign the brand partners the consumers in the decision making process and builds a relationship that drives brand preference.

    Cigna TTK health insurance head, marketing and communications Sapna Desai, said, “Our new  # say ‘YES’ to health campaign is designed to infuse positivity and affirmation for the set of consumers who are aware of health insurance, and are considering buying but are unable to make the final decision. It is within this context that Cigna TTK has chosen to # say ‘YES’ to health – reassuring customers that at Cigna TTK their health and well-being will always come first. The campaign leverages the product and service truths to differentiate and provide exclusive value to our customers based on their diverse needs.”

    McCann national planning head Suraja Kishore, “In a country that’s witnessing a rise in health consciousness, subscribing to health insurance should be an obvious idea, but it’s clearly not the case. Consumer immersions we undertook revealed to us the reason for this gap. Consumer dissonance and confusion arising from hidden clauses in fine italics, and conditions-apply-asterix keep consumers away from buying into the category.”

    Cigna TTK # say ‘YES’ to health campaign is insightful and designed to assure and reinforce our promise of being a true partner in illness and wellness. The guiding philosophy is built around finding favorable product & service solutions at all times for example ensuring coverage worldwide in times of a medical emergencies, lowering premiums as a reward for staying healthy, restoring your sum insured to the full extent if it gets exhausted due to any other medical condition etc.”

    The approach of this campaign is to keep the communication simple and endearing. The campaign will focus on print as the lead medium, with the support of radio & digital. Social media will be deployed both for awareness and engagement, as an always-on approach.

    Give below is the link to the making of the # say ‘YES’ to health campaign with bytes from Sandeep Patel, CEO and MD, Cigna TTK Health Insurance and Sapna Desai, Head, Marketing and Communications, Cigna TTK Health Insurance.

    Mumbai Marathon: Media professionals run for a cause

    MUMBAI: On the day that Mumbai runs, it’s another city altogether. No honking, no mad rush to reach somewhere, but an army of runners, who want to test their limits, painting a healthier sight of the maximum city.

    Keeping aside the usual business suits, a whole bunch of executives right from broadcast companies, media agencies to marketers and advertisers will once again don their running shoes as they join others for the 2015 edition of the Mumbai Marathon.

    The largest marathon in south east Asia, which will take place on 18 January, will see media veteran Bharat Kapadia running half marathon; his 12th marathon, overall. “Last year, I ranked 47th in my category. I started running at the age of 54. I have been training with a group called ‘Be Fit’ and we have been practicing on alternate days from 6 am to 8 am at Juhu Beach,” he says proudly.

    Kapadia believes that for people, who are hesitant to run, it’s all a mind game. “Anybody can run. 75 per cent of it is a mind game. No one is a born athlete. Also, the benefits of running versus that of visiting a gym can’t be compared,” he adds.

    Agrees his follow runner, HDFC Life marketing, product, digital and e-commerce senior executive vice president Sanjay Tripathy. “It is a great way to test your limits and prepare your mind for bigger challenges in the life. One can also see it as an opportunity to meet like-minded people,” he says, while adding that he will be running his seventh marathon for which he has been preparing for three months now.

    For Spatial Access founder Meenakshi Menon running the dream marathon is like child’s play. A regular runner, Menon will be running for her NGO Vanashakti along the likes of film director Namita Roy Ghose. “Lately, running has become sexy so a lot more people are up for the challenge. I believe everyone should run for a cause because the country lacks social compassion and to be great country it is a must,” she opines.

    India chairman and managing director Sunil Lulla will be running the half marathon with two partners of which one is physically handicapped. “I will be running for Children’s Movement for Civic Awareness,” says Lulla who is running his sixth marathon.

    Media agency Vizeum India managing director Yesu Yesudas is running the marathon. And he has taken to social media to raise funds for two of his causes: an old age home and orphanage Swagat Ashram in Mumbai, and a tribal school Vidya Vanam in Tamil Nadu.  “I have a desire to raise Rs 500,000 for these two causes. I am making a personal contribution of Rs 100,000,” he announced on Facebook.  And he went on to urge his friends to contribute Rs 2,000 each to help him reach his goal.

    GroupM ESP entertainment, sports and live events national director Vinit Karnik says that the property has been evolving over a period of time and it is highly commendable. “The organisers i.e. Procam have done a fantastic job and it is one of the most well respected and well organised sports property in India. Right from the registration of the participants to the doubts of the participants on the actual day about their well being is taken care of completely by the organizers,” he highlights.

    This year five new brands, namely Cigna TTK, Jabong.com, Volini, TUI, and India Cares Foundation have associated with the event as health insurance, online retail, recovery, travel and philanthropy partners, respectively.
