Our challenge

Insurance often comes with the reputation of being complex, risk-averse, and transactional. Axis Insurance recognized this perception and sought to break free. They wanted a new brand identity that would position them as a forward-thinking partner for ambitious businesses, emphasizing empowerment over fear and clarity over complexity.

Our insight

Through in-depth research and collaboration with Axis’s leadership, stakeholders, and clients, we uncovered critical insights that shaped the rebranding process

Our answer

We developed the central brand thought: "The Cut-Through." This guiding concept reflects Axis’s unique approach—cutting through industry jargon, traditional fears, and the notion that insurance is merely a commodity. Instead, Axis redefines insurance as a tool for growth and proactive decision-making.
