Y&R appointed to Cigna Insurance
Y&R has been awarded the full creative, direct and media relationship with Cigna Insurance in New Zealand.
Says Simon Tohill, Cigna’s national marketing manager: “Cigna has some big plans for growth in the New Zealand market, so the time was right to consolidate our agency relationships across the board”
In April, after a competitive pitch, Y&R was appointed to a brand development project with Cigna. The subsequent full service relationship came without a formal tender.
“Y&R have demonstrated a thorough insights-led approach in their work to date and we are looking forward to seeing that carry through into our day-to-day communications” Tohill added.
Says Grant Maxwell, general manager,Y&R: “Naturally we’re delighted to have a wider relationship with Cigna. They have some pretty big aspirations for their brand in this market and abroad, so we can’t wait to take that journey with them.”
Y&R’s sister agency MEC will be handling channel strategy and implementation. The relationship starts from late October.

Why’s Grant Maxwell PRing this?
Where’s the generic quote, using late 90’s buzz words from Ramage?
Nice comment there Anonymous. Ramage control might be happening.
