About Us

What makes us different?

  • Global Reach

    We have the right tools and we know how to use them in the right combination to achieve the client’s objectives.

    Whether you need to create a new business development plan, a marketing campaign, a customer focus group or a product density programme, avoid costly trial and errors and rely on our tested and proven methodologies tailored to your specific needs.

  • Unrivalled Expertise

    Proven track record on delivering successful marketing and business development programmes in the insurance industry.

    Our staff have worked in senior positions in client organisations – we understand your environment, your language, your needs and your clients’ and distributors’ requirements and work with you collaboratively and supportively.

  • Market Knowledge

    We have a great deal of experience, working with clients across our key business sectors – supporting clients globally as well as locally.

    Many of the team have worked ‘client-side’ and therefore bring an informed understanding of the needs and inner workings of the markets that we support. This allows us to better understand and respond to the individual needs of clients and their specific projects.
