«For the second our enterprise stays worthwhile, we’re capable of finance ourselves by persevering with on our personal two toes. The progress is increased than anticipated and our shareholders are glad with the outcomes, whereas remaining able to assist us within the progress path”, claims George Ottathycal, CEO of Prima, on the occasion of the presentation of the new advertising campaign featuring a well-known Hollywood star like Patrick Dempsey. A star who, however, by conscious choice, appears only in the background in the multi-channel commercial, covered and dominated by the customers who remain the focus of the insurance agency model. “Tu, Prima” is in fact the claim of the campaign which broadens the scope of the presence from the traditional car-motorcycle sector to coverage for the home and family, which today is worth only 4-5% of the turnover generated by 3.2 million of customers.

A platform that has additionally pushed for the opening of the community of brokers, which has now reached over 1,400 folks, who immediately cowl round a 3rd of the premium assortment, alongside the roughly equal volumes deriving from direct subscription from the location and from that arriving from comparability platforms. Even the selection to rework the present «profitable mannequin of Mga (managing basic company, ed.)» into an actual insurance coverage firm stays a suggestion that doesn’t appear to result in strategic modifications within the quick time period: «A attainable alternative, however not a present possibility”.
