CASE STUDY

MassMutual Insurance

The Challenge

MassMutual had a problem not unique to many brands in their respective industries. They, in an environment with well-known competitors with deep marketing budgets such as State Farm, Allstate, and New York Life, were competing with giants.

The Fortune 100 firm knew the Hispanic market was important to their long term strategy, however, how do you do reach this audience when your competition is already so far ahead?

Our Approach

MassMutual decided to begin with strategic research, and they would rely on insights from O.Y.E. to help them by learning from what works and didn’t work for their peer brands as well as their own independent life insurance agents marketing efforts to engage the Hispanic audience. They also wanted to know what demographics of Hispanics tended to discuss life insurance needs.

RESULTS

The client wisely began with a one-year research study to understand the Hispanic insurance conversation and set a baseline from which ongoing conversation could be measured. Due to this, the MassMutual brand has been able to effectively track and learn from the Hispanic conversation on a monthly basis so that they can quickly react to what campaigns are working as well as provide feedback to their independent agents in the field.
