Ultimately this is to ensure lifestyles filled with choices, options and freedoms \u2013 a very Australian definition of wealth and happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Clark said the intent of TAL was to grow consumer confidence in life insurance and to grow the wider life insurance market and this was not related to channels or brands,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us this is not about channel \u2013 it is and always has been a fundamental principle of our business that the consumer can choose how they access cover; directly through us or another trusted brand, through a financial adviser or through their superannuation,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n<p>The first television ad in the campaign can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u04QD16crVM\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TAL has launched its first consumer-focused advertising campaign designed to broaden awareness of the insurer and to raise the profile of the wider life insurance sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-company-news","category-products"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33956\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
