Absolut Strahovanie
The decision on rebranding was made with regard to the new company strategy and the development of a new business area, which is retail insurance. In addition, the new image should emphasize the openness and client-oriented approach of the company, as well as the use of new level information technologies that allow to take the greatest possible account of each client's interests. The new denomination also emphasizes the membership in IG Absolut which has been an active participant of Russian market since 1991.
Depot acted as a partner for rebranding. The team of the agency has developed for Absolut Strahovanie corporate identity that speaks for the company's openness and friendliness towards its clients and also emphasizes advanced technologies and integrated approach to the insurance services.
Dmitry Rudenko, General Director of Absolut Strahovanie: «Renaming is the best way to emphasize the changes in development strategy of our company. The membership in Absolut group is important for us, and the new name is not a cosmetic change: it is intended to symbolize the continuity of values of the group, which are the highest level of service and reliability. We believe that now is the best time to take such a decisive step — according to the last year's results, the company achieved a positive outcome while increasing insurance fees by 10% despite the financial crisis. The company's assets exceeded 2,9 billion roubles, and its equity capital accounts for more than 1 billion. We are sure that when implementing the strategy the synergistic effect of renaming and closer cooperation with the companies in one of the leading Russian investment groups will allow us to imcrease brand recognition and strengthen our positions in the market.»
Alexandr Zagorsky, Creative Director of Depot: «It is still difficult for the Russian «users» of insurance services to understand all its diversity, so, while developing logo and corporate identity, it was particularly important for us to make all the media as simple for comprehension as possible. This task is solved by logo, as well as by geometrical modern typography and renovated color scheme in which we tried to avoid the «semi-official» deep blue and turn to fresher and juicier shades.»
