Allianz Choose Callcredit Marketing Solutions as Data Provider
Following a lengthy analysis and evaluation programme, Allianz
has selected Callcredit Marketing Solutions as its
primary data supplier, to support its long-term pricing and
marketing strategy. Allianz is one of the largest general insurers
in the UK and is part of Allianz SE which is one of the world's
leading financial service providers.
Callcredit Marketing Solutions were chosen following a thorough
head to head test against its main rivals which covered a full
assessment of all of its data variables.
The three year deal covers the provision of the CAMEO consumer
segmentation suite alongside a wide range of demographic indicators
and credit
risk variables at post sector, postcode and individual level.
This consumer intelligence will be used to develop 'pricing for
risk' policies in tandem with customer acquisition,
retention and cross-sell strategies for home, car and life
insurance.
Michael Blackburn, Head of Pricing Development, Allianz
Retail said:
"It's the first time that Allianz has used such detailed marketing
data within the pricing process, so this is a really interesting
test bed for us. Our initial investigations illustrated that these
datasets were extremely powerful in predicting risk cost, so we
look forward to implementing them into our pricing strategies going
forward."
Caroline Worboys, Managing Director, Callcredit Marketing
Solutions, adds:
"We are extremely pleased to be working with such a leading player
as Allianz in the insurance sector on this new venture. The
acquisition is yet another great opportunity for us to showcase the
highly discriminative nature of our marketing datasets across
different markets."
