Allianz is one of the world’s largest insurers and financial services groups.
The business wanted to improve its perception and reputation in the corporate and specialty insurance markets. Our campaign has proved to a fundamentally traditional business, based on relationship sales and face-to-face networking, that digital marketing is a critical growth driver for today’s modern B2B insurer.
The Ready campaign for Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) hasn’t just been a high-performing, full-funnel campaign. It’s also a true first of its kind for the business, which required intense stakeholder discussions to get business buy-in and internal traction.
It continues to make a positive impact on the business, its employees and, of course, revenues. Above all, the value of marketing is now beyond doubt, and the marketing teams across the business have a newfound confidence and sophistication of approach.

WHAT WE DID
INSIGHTS & STRATEGY
Identifying a top tier of large global clients and key broker relationships, we worked to promote the concept Allianz is Ready for the new era and continues to lead the way in the insurance market.
BIG IDEA
To secure internal buy-in from the Allianz leadership team, we built a test-and-learn campaign for three months using multiple channels, messages, formats and content to launch the AGCS brand, engage target accounts, and start to drive leads.
Our audience stretched across ten different countries and four continents. Representing the largest companies in the world, these organisations typically trade with over $1B in global revenues.
EXECUTION
The ‘Ready’ campaign was a true cross-channel endeavour, with a variety of channels and tactics used to deepen our audience understanding and optimize performance. Media activity was targeted across the full suite of digital channels as well as at events, in print, and with OOH.
This campaign also had an element of account-based targeting. LinkedIn and partner platforms were leveraged to ensure impressions delivered were exclusive to the core audience.
The ‘Ready’ campaign was a resounding success across the business and as the first foray into advertising for Allianz AGCS it has been a campaign that exceeded all expectations.
