HomeServe additionally won Silver in the Marketing Campaign of the Year – Insurance category for an effective, customer-oriented marketing launch campaign deployed with the municipal utility serving Kansas City and Wyandotte County. Focused on demonstrating the impactful nature of plain language and educational messages, HomeServe deployed a multi-pronged marketing effort across media, direct mail and social channels to help area homeowners better understand their responsibilities with respect to their home and the value of coverage offered by the Company. The campaign yielded a significant volume of homeowners opting in for HomeServe’s service plans, saving Kansas City area customers over $100,000 in repair costs in the eight months the service has been available.

“We are driven by placing the customer at the heart of all that we do – and we believe that approach should be extended to prospective customers, too,” said Bill Graham, chief marketing officer, HomeServe USA. “By ensuring that our marketing communications are very simply aligned with the broader HomeServe standard – always serve the homeowner’s best interests – we were able to create a successful program launch with Kansas City. We are thrilled to receive this award and demonstrate how rewarding a customer-centric strategy can be, especially when addressing audiences who aren’t customers yet.”
