The Tata AIG account is estimated to be worth about US$4 million.
Rajesh Mull, VP of marketing, Tata AIG Life, said, "We decided to call a fresh pitch as we wanted to see what other agencies had to offer." In addition to the management from Tata AIG, the pitch also involved the regional communications team from Hong Kong, which participated in the final selection of the agency.
Three agencies were shortlisted after initial presentations: Starcom, The Media Edge and Madison. The international team's presence was critical, to ensure that the necessary global perspective was taken into account.
