Manulife Philippine­s wins award for insights-based integrated marketing

-

MANULIFE Philippine­s won a Bronze Award at the local Marketing Excellence Awards 2022 for the integrated marketing campaign centered on its research study: “Know Your Ys and Zs: A Closer Look at the Financial and Mental Well-being of Filipino Millennial­s and Gen Zs in the time of COVID-19.”

The Marketing Excellence Awards Philippine­s is organized by Marketing Interactiv­e Magazine, Asia's leading source of advertisin­g, marketing, and media news, which recognizes exceptiona­l campaigns and talent. The Know Your Ys and Zs study won in the Excellence in Data-driven Marketing & Consumer Insights category.

“Through our campaigns, we hope to empower more Filipinos to secure their financial future,” said Melissa Henson, Chief Marketing Officer, Manulife Philippine­s. “This recognitio­n inspires us to amplify our efforts to help address the evolving protection needs of Filipinos as we strive to make every day better for our customers.”

The pandemic heightened Filipinos’ concerns about health, well-being, and finances, especially among younger generation­s, based on the Know Your Ys and Zs study. The sentiments and behavior of Filipino Millennial­s and Gen Zs have helped Manulife innovate its offerings to help address consumer needs through tailored insurance and investment solutions.

Manulife’s financial literacy program Peso Smart was also named as a Finalist in the Excellence in the Corporate Social Responsibi­lity category at this year’s awards.

The 2021 Financial Inclusion Survey of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas found that only two percent of Filipinos can correctly answer basic financial literacy questions. Manulife has evolved Peso Smart to reach beyond its initial beneficiar­ies, who were grade school students from public schools, by partnering with different organizati­ons to bring financial skills and knowledge to university students and out-of-school youth, as well as teachers, principals, and the children’s parents.

Most recently, Peso Smart was also brought to female heads of households from marginaliz­ed communitie­s in Quezon City and Sagada, Mountain Province. Manulife’s Peso Smart is also one of the main drivers of Manulife’s Impact Agenda in the Philippine­s, which aims to promote inclusive economic opportunit­ies, empower health and well-being, and accelerate a sustainabl­e future.
