Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc said it is set to embark on a pan-Nigeria press campaign that would highlights the different products it parades.

A statement by its Head of Corporate Communications and Brand Management, Segun Bankole, said the campaign is scheduled to break before the end of the second quarter, adding that the initiative is to further compliment the implementation of the company’s new business model which was adopted earlier in the year.

He noted that the new business model is hinged on harnessing the enormous opportunities that are inherent in the Nigerian economy vis-a-vis the insurance industry.

Bankole said the campaign will amongst other elements, educate the insuring public on the features, benefits and value on all of the different products on offer and the unique customer service experience that await prospective customers in any of the company’s offices nationwide.

He maintained that the campaign is also intended to give more vent to the firm’s brand and expound on the awareness drive for insurance patronage in the country.

 Bankole stressed that the major militating factor against optimal patronage can be pigeon holed to lack of adequate information. He noted that the challenge can be effectively addressed through proper enlightenment.

He further explained that the advertisement materials were made simple with explanatory illustrations and image representation which everyone can easily identify with, adding that the simplicity of the advert concepts is geared towards making would-be customers irrespective of their socio-economic status easily indentify the connecting link with the brand and also to be able to recognize their insurable needs and ultimately get on the company’s train.

Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the underwriting firm, Wale Onaolapo, posited that awareness creation is very germane to the advancement and development of the insurance industry in Nigeria and any other corporate entity for that matter.

According to him, awareness creation will constantly inform and remind existing and prospective customers of available products and services being offered by any organisation. He maintained that the campaign would help enhance a larger coverage of prospective customers in localities yet to benefit from the product offerings of the company.

He said the firm remains committed to actualising its vision of becoming a leading brand, providing insurance and financial services of global standards.
