How to plan Insurance campaigns

Why does programmatic work for insurance?

People rarely wake up wanting insurance. They buy it after a trigger, such as a new car, a wedding, a health scare or a tax-saving deadline. Programmatic helps you be there at that moment.

With DV360, you can reach in-market audiences for health, life or motor insurance, plus life-event audiences like newly married or new parents. You can also reach people reading about health, cars or tax on premium news sites.

Because insurance is a long decision, you can tell a story in steps. Start with a brand film on OTT or YouTube, follow with a native explainer, and close with a retargeting ad that leads to a quote form.

Which formats help insurers build trust?

Trust matters more than anything in insurance. These formats help:

  • CTV and OTT video on JioHotstar, ZEE5 and SonyLIV for large-screen brand stories.
  • Regional OTT such as Sun NXT and aha, plus regional-language news, to reach families in their own language.
  • Premium news placements through PMP deals, next to trusted content.
  • Native ads for guides like "How much term cover do I need?"
  • YouTube bumper and in-stream ads for reminders before the tax-saving season ends.

DOOH near hospitals and car showrooms can also support health and motor products locally.

What rules apply to insurance advertising?

Insurance ads in India are regulated. Keep these in mind:

  • Follow IRDAI rules on insurance advertisements. Ads should carry the insurer's name, registration details and required disclaimers.
  • Do not promise returns or benefits the policy does not offer.
  • Follow ASCI codes on honest and fair claims.
  • Google may ask for financial services verification before your ads can run.

Insurance advertising: FAQs

Can DV360 help us get more quote requests?

Yes. A common setup is video for awareness plus retargeting and in-market audiences for quote requests. Floodlight tags track form starts and completions.

Should we run ads in regional languages?

Often, yes. Regional OTT, news and YouTube let you reach families in Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali and more, which can build stronger trust.

When is the best time to run insurance campaigns?

Many insurers increase spend in January to March for tax-saving purchases, and around health awareness days. Plan premium OTT deals early for these periods.
