"Southern Cross Travel Insurance ‘has been with you before and will be with you again on your next adventure’."
Southern Cross Travel Insurance (SCTI) has released 'Relax, we're with you' via Havas New Zealand to assure traveller their insurance needs are in the best hands.
Havas New Zealand's campaign was brought to life in collaboration with media agency Spark Foundry Australia, and includes TV, OnDemand, out of home, digital, social media and PR. The campaign’s first TV ads were unveiled on July 24 in Australia, with September 4 being the launch date in New Zealand.
The campaign reinforces Southern Cross’ position as a market-leading travel insurer, with over 40 years’ experience looking after New Zealand travellers and 13 years doing the same for Australians.
The creative features inspiring and uplifting visuals of travellers rediscovering their love for travel, being inspired by the world around them and enjoying emotional reunions with loved ones. The visuals are combined with the message that Southern Cross Travel Insurance ‘has been with you before and will be with you again on your next adventure’.
Nick Bassett, head of sales, product and marketing at Southern Cross Travel Insurance, said: “Southern Cross has provided cover and peace of mind to millions of travellers over the last four decades and we know that, now more than ever, they’re looking for a brand that they can trust will be there for them, if the unexpected happens.
“‘Relax, we’re with you’ acknowledges both the desire of New Zealanders and Australians to reconnect with loved ones and the world around us, while recognising that there is still some trepidation as we dip our toes back into international travel. We know we can help travellers feel prepared and supported, so this campaign is designed to remind everyone they can relax when Southern Cross Travel Insurance is with them.
“Our investment in our customer experience and analytics, our brand and our product expansion has positioned us well to meet the returning travel marke. We worked tirelessly during the pandemic to ensure we can provide comprehensive cover that meets customers’ needs. As a result, we have launched a strong covid cover proposition along with domestic policies – all in plain English that customers can understand.”
