China Life Insurance Singapore Launches First Brand Campaign
Singapore, 14 February 2016 – China Life Insurance (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. ("China Life Insurance Singapore") launches its first brand campaign today featuring Yao Ming, China Life's Global Ambassador as the brand campaign icon for its print and out-of-home advertising.
The brand campaign is a creative and strategic expression of China Life Insurance Singapore's foray into the local insurance market by using the Giant of the basketball realm and one of the world's biggest sporting icons – Yao Ming as the ambassador. In doing so, the brand campaign communicates visually the magnitude of China Life - a Giant of the life insurance industry.
"As a new life insurance company with less than a year of establishment in Singapore, we seek to progressively raise our brand awareness. For a start, our focus is to build our brand presence through key newspapers and out-of-home media such as buses as the first wave of our overall brand campaign roll-out. We are a giant of the life insurance industry as we are part of China Life Insurance (Group) Company, a Fortune Global 500 company for 13 consecutive years and ranked 94 last year. Additionally, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Life Insurance (Overseas) Company Limited, we are part of the China Life group with strong credit ratings from international rating agencies.", said Ms Maria Ching, Chief Executive of China Life Insurance Singapore.
Mr Tony Chow, Assistant General Manager added,"We chose to use Yao Ming in our brand campaign, not only because he is China Life's Global Ambassador but more importantly, we wanted to develop a distinctive and recognizable campaign in consumers' minds. Yao Ming as a giant of the basketball realm which synergises with who we are as part of the China Life Group, also embodies trust and credibility in trusting a giant to protect what matters to our consumers for insurance solutions."
