# say ‘YES’ to health campaign: Cigna TTK
MUMBAI: Cigna TTK Health Insurance, a joint venture between U.S. based global health service leader, Cigna Corporation (NYSE:CI) and Indian conglomerate TTK Group, today unveiled the # say ‘YES’ to health campaign.
Improving the health, well-being and sense of security of the people we serve is an imperative at Cigna TTK Health Insurance. This is the underlying philosophy of everything we do. Right from the design of the products to the way we deliver them. A deep dive into the consumer mindsets showed that when a consumer is planning to buy health insurance, there are many questions and apprehensions in their minds on the benefits of health insurance – leaving consumers with a feeling that when the moment of truth arrives they may not benefit. Cigna TTK’s brand strategy has been to partner their consumer in illness and in wellness. In this campaign the brand partners the consumers in the decision making process and builds a relationship that drives brand preference.
Cigna TTK health insurance head, marketing and communications Sapna Desai, said, “Our new # say ‘YES’ to health campaign is designed to infuse positivity and affirmation for the set of consumers who are aware of health insurance, and are considering buying but are unable to make the final decision. It is within this context that Cigna TTK has chosen to # say ‘YES’ to health – reassuring customers that at Cigna TTK their health and well-being will always come first. The campaign leverages the product and service truths to differentiate and provide exclusive value to our customers based on their diverse needs.”
McCann national planning head Suraja Kishore, “In a country that’s witnessing a rise in health consciousness, subscribing to health insurance should be an obvious idea, but it’s clearly not the case. Consumer immersions we undertook revealed to us the reason for this gap. Consumer dissonance and confusion arising from hidden clauses in fine italics, and conditions-apply-asterix keep consumers away from buying into the category.”
Cigna TTK # say ‘YES’ to health campaign is insightful and designed to assure and reinforce our promise of being a true partner in illness and wellness. The guiding philosophy is built around finding favorable product & service solutions at all times for example ensuring coverage worldwide in times of a medical emergencies, lowering premiums as a reward for staying healthy, restoring your sum insured to the full extent if it gets exhausted due to any other medical condition etc.”
The approach of this campaign is to keep the communication simple and endearing. The campaign will focus on print as the lead medium, with the support of radio & digital. Social media will be deployed both for awareness and engagement, as an always-on approach.

AdTrust Summit 2026 to examine trust, AI and Gen Alpha in advertising
Two-day summit in Mumbai to explore ethics, regulation and the future of advertising trust
MUMBAI: At a time when advertising is navigating a delicate trust deficit, the Advertising Standards Council of India is preparing to bring the industry to the table. On 17 and 18 March, the body will host the inaugural AdTrust Summit 2026 in Mumbai, a two-day gathering designed to spark conversation around responsibility, regulation and credibility in modern advertising.
The summit, to be held at the Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex, will bring together leaders from advertising, media, technology and policy to examine how brands can build trust in a marketplace increasingly shaped by algorithms, influencers and artificial intelligence.
In an age of deepfakes, dark patterns and blurred lines between content and commerce, the question is no longer just how brands capture attention, but whether audiences believe what they see. The AdTrust Summit aims to unpack that challenge.
Day one will turn its attention to the youngest digital natives. Titled Decoding Gen Alpha, the session will unveil ‘What the Sigma?’, a study by ASCI and Futurebrands Consulting that explores how children growing up in a hyper-digital environment encounter advertising and commercial messaging.
The report presentation will be delivered by Santosh Desai, founder and director at Think9 Consumer Technologies and a social commentator known for his insights into consumer behaviour. The discussion that follows will attempt to decode how Gen Alpha consumes media, interacts with brands and navigates the growing overlap between entertainment and marketing.
In a move that mirrors the subject itself, two Gen Alpha students will also join the conversation, offering a rare perspective from the generation advertisers are trying to understand.
The second panel of the day will shift the focus from observation to implication, asking what the report’s findings mean for brands, agencies and society. Speakers include Karthik Srinivasan, communications strategy consultant; Preeti Vyas, president at Mythik; and Abigail Dias, associate president planning at Ogilvy. The session will be moderated by Sonali Krishna, editor at ET Brand Equity.
Day two moves from insight to regulation. Under the theme From Compliance to Trust, ASCI will release its Ad Law Compendium, a comprehensive guide to India’s advertising regulations.
The day will open with a keynote by Sudhanshu Vats, chairman at ASCI and managing director at Pidilite Industries, followed by a chief guest address by Sanjay Jaju, secretary at the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
Legal experts from Khaitan & Co., including Haigreve Khaitan, senior partner, and Tanu Banerjee, partner, will present an overview of the current advertising law landscape in India and examine whether existing frameworks are equipped to deal with emerging technologies and formats.
Subsequent panels will explore issues increasingly shaping the industry’s ethical compass. Conversations will range from the limits of persuasive design and the rise of dark patterns, to the growing scrutiny brands face from digital creators and consumer watchdogs.
One session will also feature Revant Himatsingka, widely known online as the Food Pharmer, whose critiques of packaged food brands have sparked debate around transparency and corporate accountability.
Later discussions will turn toward media literacy among Gen Alpha, asking how children can be equipped to navigate a digital world where gaming, content and commerce are becoming indistinguishable.
The summit will conclude with a final panel on the future of advertising, bringing together voices from agencies, legal circles and technology platforms to discuss how innovation, intelligence and integrity can coexist.
For an industry built on persuasion, trust has always been its quiet currency. But as audiences grow more sceptical and digital ecosystems more complex, that currency is under pressure.
Events like the AdTrust Summit suggest the advertising world knows it cannot afford to take credibility for granted. The real challenge now is turning conversation into commitment.
