Introduction:

KEU Underwriting Managers, a leading provider of specialist insurance solutions in South Africa, approached our agency seeking to elevate their online presence. Their primary goals were to develop a more robust brand identity and leverage social media to connect with a wider audience of potential clients within the insurance industry.

Challenge:

KEU’s existing online presence lacked a clear brand voice and visual identity. Their social media activity was inconsistent, hindering brand awareness and engagement with their target audience.

• Messaging Framework: We developed a messaging framework that captured KEU’s expertise and experience, ensuring all communication resonated with their target audience.

2. Social Media Management:

• Platform Selection: We identified the most relevant social media platforms for KEU to reach their target audience, focusing on professional networking sites like LinkedIn and industry-specific platforms.
• Content Strategy: We developed a content calendar featuring engaging and informative content aligned with KEU’s brand story. This content included industry insights, thought leadership pieces, and company updates.
• Community Management: We implemented a proactive community management strategy to foster engagement with KEU’s audience. This involved responding to comments and messages, participating in relevant industry discussions, and running interactive social media campaigns.

Results:

• Increased Brand Awareness: KEU’s social media presence experienced significant growth, with a 387% increase in followers across all platforms.
