Ltd Powering Search with Multimedia Ads The October, November, and December (OND) quarter of the fiscal year in India sees a 30% downfall in insurance purchases every year.1 Spurred by the drive to keep the momentum going during the non-peak months of the year, Max Life Insurance aimed to upscale the demand for insurance among the high-intent audiences. The idea to drive higher brand visibility and better performance among search audiences helped the brand identify untapped opportunities on the Microsoft Advertising platform. Example of Multimedia Ads in the SERP Microsoft Advertising delivered the scalability for Max Life Insurance to reach exclusive, high-interest audiences to generate an increased lead score.

With a whopping 99.35% claims paid percentage, we could narrow down on the exclusive insurance-searching audience on the Microsoft Advertising platform. By adding Multimedia Ads to our ad mix, we saw an incremental rise of about 4% in the overall CTR consistently. — Sameer Jain, VP & Head Direct Business and Digital Marketing, eCommerce, Max Life Insurance See a summary Download the infographic to take the Max Life success story with you.
