Allianz Worldwide Partners Recognized for Outstanding Public Relations Programs at the 70th Virginia Public Relations Awards
Global insurance provider Allianz Worldwide Partners won the top award in the category of Blogger Campaigns at the 70th Virginia Public Relations Awards hosted by the Public Relations Society of America Richmond Chapter. The company won the Capital Award of Excellence for its Allianz Travel Insurance Three-tiered Blogger Campaign. The award is the company’s second win this year for outstanding influencer marketing programs. Earlier this year it won a Gold trophy in the category of PR Campaign – Influencer Marketing during the 60th annual Adrian Awards, presented in February by The Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI).
Allianz Worldwide Partners and its marketing communications agency Finn Partners, were recognized for creating a three-tiered influencer marketing campaign, which incorporated brand ambassadors, travel influencers and content partnerships to raise awareness of its travel insurance brand.
“I’m honored to accept this Capital Award on behalf of the talented group of travel influencers we’ve worked with to achieve our goal in raising awareness of the importance of travel insurance,” said Daniel Durazo, director of communications at Allianz Worldwide Partners USA.
Travel influencers were tasked to produce and publicize creative content for Allianz Travel Insurance, bringing personality to the brand and elevating travel insurance to a must-have travel accessory when planning vacations. Allianz’s influencer program included well-known travel writers, bloggers and influencers such as Lee Abbamonte, the youngest American to visit every country.
“As a brand ambassador for Allianz Travel Insurance, I have the exciting role of finding new, creative ways to bring attention to travel insurance – which is an essential element for ensuring peace of mind when traveling,” said Lee Abbamonte, travel blogger at LeeAbbamonte.com.
