“Allianz competes in the fiercely competitive direct insurance market. In 2012, Allianz worked to refresh its brand with the Ahh-llianz campaign.

   Sales: exceeded plan by 25.8%;

   Efficiency: the campaign reduced the cost per acquisition by 35.8%.

“We wanted Australians to remember the name ‘Allianz’ and connect with the brand emotionally, which is why we wanted our advertising to be humorous and light-hearted, capturing those moments that feel like a disaster, but to also show that Allianz is there to help in our customers’ time of need,” Mr Towell said.
