‘As a brand, we are challenging the extractive practices of insurance. Insurance is generally catastrophised and we believe that for insurance to be accessible, it needs to be positioned differently,’ explains.
‘At the heart of our brand repositioning, which will be defined by the Insure your unsure campaign slogan, we are looking to reinvigorate our brand by removing the insurance doom and gloom and bringing a little levity – after all, we take what we do seriously, without taking ourselves too seriously,’ added Chimhandamba.
Hollard Group, through HINT, has established access in several African countries, including Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Ghana, Zambia, Lesotho, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, offering a wide range of short- and long-term insurance solutions.
