Talking about Digit’s first campaign, Vivek Chaturvedi, Chief Marketing Officer, Digit Insurance, said, “Insurance in India is highly underpenetrated. Therefore, our marketing objective was to increase the awareness for insurance and recall for Digit Insurance. And who better than the very passionate youth icon, Virat Kohli, for the same, who is loved by every age group of Indians. Plus, at Digit, we believe that insurance can be simple and fun. Therefore, we wanted to keep that fun element in our campaign, too. From a brand perspective, we wanted to highlight that Digit has earned the trust of 1.5 crore Indians for their car, bike, health and travel insurance, and that reflects in our almost 5-star customer rating on Google and Facebook.”

On the campaign conceptualization, Edward Anthony, Founding Partner, Stirred Creative, said, “Our brief was straightforward. We had Virat, a 5-Star rated player and Digit, an almost 5-Star rated insurance. All we needed to do was to marry these two in a fun way. And with IPL around the corner, #SwitchToDigit was conceptualised with a twist that would leave people with a smile at the end.”
