Cardif Pinnacle appoints AdventisNMG
Adventis ("ATG/L"), the full service marketing and advertising agency, announces that its AdventisNMG financial services agency has been appointed by Cardif Pinnacle, to help deliver a major project to reposition their direct general insurance business for the future.
Phase 1 went live on 1st March 2008 with a new branding exercise and the development of an online portal proposition - helpucover.co.uk.
The brand position heralds helpucover.co.uk as a provider of first-class, direct general insurance products designed to 'Fill the gaps other insurance leaves behind'.
MPPI, Income Protection and Pet - the helpucover.co.uk products already featured on the website - offer demonstratively enhanced benefits, service features and/or competitive pricing than much of the competition. In support, lead generation activities using both traditional and digital media are planned.
The contract, for an undisclosed amount, was won on firm recommendation. The project continues to run through 2008 and beyond with the re-packaging and launch of a raft of new and innovative direct to consumer products.
Said Nick Baker, General Manager-Director, AdventisNMG: "We are delighted to be working with Cardif Pinnacle on this exciting project. Once again it successfully demonstrates our proven ability to work closely with clients across integrated marketing techniques, in both traditional and new media."
Said Eva Krydowska, Director of Digital, AdventisNMG: "This is an exciting new portal proposition and one, thanks to the outlook of the Marketing Department at Cardif Pinnacle, which is both functional and packed with personality."
Said Barbara Morgan, Head of Direct and Affinity Marketing, Cardif Pinnacle "AdventisNMG came with excellent credentials, because of their detailed knowledge of financial services and the consumer market. The chemistry is also right.
It's been a journey and the demands on all have been great, but their knowledge, skill and understanding has greatly impressed. Here's looking forward to generating higher business flows."
