Our work

A product nobody wants is the most expensive thing in insurance.

These are propositions we helped insurers design, test and launch, built around what customers actually do, not what a business case hoped they'd do.

Don't just take our word for it.

56 days to launch a new, sophisticated proposition is phenomenal. With any other approach, it would have taken months, or years. We might even still be working on it.

AXA

A financial guarantee for going green.

Plenty of customers wanted to go green. Far fewer would gamble on whether it paid off.

Bupa's Quote & Buy journey wasn't converting, and the reason wasn't what they'd designed.

Proving demand before the build.

Bupa wanted to build a preventative health proposition on genomics. We ranked four features on real behaviour before anything was built.

AXA Global Healthcare

The best claim is no claim at all.

Making a health claim abroad meant forms, receipts, and waiting to be paid back. We helped AXA Global Healthcare design all three away.

In their words

Fifteen years of work, described by the people we did it with.

The Ninety approach ensured that the team never lost focus, providing a consistent and structured framework throughout the entire process.
