opportunity to educate people on the benefits of buying a Royal Sundaram insurance product. We
want to demystify the terms used in insurance and make the benefits easy to understand. We
therefore decided to create shorter and to the point videos, in an easy to engage creative format of
breaking news. Our video ad campaign is in four regional languages-Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and
Kannada along with English. The videos will appear on Hotstar during the IPL 2021 season.
Vaasu Gavarasana, Chief Digital Officer, Royal Sundaram General Insurance Co. Ltd., said,
“We want to highlight the ease of interacting with Royal Sundaram, so we created a tagline
#ClickTickDone to bring this to life. To build long term brand recall, we also created a sound logo
that we are launching in this campaign. To carry our creative concept of breaking news, we needed
a trusted known face with a connection to cricket. With a role in upcoming cricket movie 83, Jiiva
was a natural choice. He is a popular and versatile actor with an endearing personality.”.
The campaign comprises of five films - each 15 seconds long; and each highlighting a short and
easy to remember USPs like, “No paperwork for car insurance claims” and “Budget health insurance
at Rs. 7/- per day”, among others. Actor Jiiva, plays the news anchor for Insurance News 24X7 and
delivers easy to grab messaging - thereby making it easier for audiences to grasp a clutter free
messaging.

“Royal Sundaram is a reputed and trustworthy insurance brand. I loved the idea, scripts and had a
great time working with Pradeap and team to bring the theme alive. I wish the Royal Sundaram team
success with #ClickTickDone”.
The campaign has been co-created by the internal marketing team at Royal Sundaram and The
Planning Room. The videos are directed by Pradeap Krishnan. The campaign will primarily air on
Disney Hotstar, but would also be amplified across all digital and online platforms.
