London - 1st September 2021. Leading GAP Insurance provider ALA Insurance, has appointed BIG little LDN as its retained social media agency after previously hiring the shop in September 2020 to create the brand’s Instagram channel and wider social media content strategy.​

BIG little LDN works with ALA Insurance “to create memorable content experiences that encourage brand recall” and “turn a rational purchase into an emotive one, by shifting perception from a financial services company to a lifestyle brand.” says Emma Lloyd, Founder of BIG little LDN.

Simon England, Founder of ALA Insurance says, “The selection of BIG little LDN as lead social media partner is a significant step forward in ALA Insurance’s brand journey.

“Throughout the last 12-months it  has been clear that the BIG little LDN team understands our market while delivering on our ambition to reach a new customer base. Since working together, they have created content strategies that have seen us achieve a quote to sale conversion rate which is on par with our automotive affiliates. Bearing in mind those on Instagram aren’t actively looking for GAP Insurance, those sort of results are phenomenal. Our choice to produce these bold content strategies differentiates us from other insurance providers. .”

BIG little LDN will work on ALA Insurance alongside branding agency TALL and SEO and PPC agency WMG.

Emma Lloyd, Founder of BIG little LDN, adds, “ALA Insurance took a risk with us. They knew they needed to invest in Instagram, to push their brand forward, but working with influencers, on the scale that they are, is something no other insurance company is doing. It was all brand new to them, there was no path already paved, but the risk paid off.

We’ve managed to interrupt people’s Instagram scrolling with content they can relate to, engage their curiosity beyond a double tap and into purchase consideration. The results we’ve seen are beyond what we expected and I’m just so proud of the team. We absolutely love working with the team at ALA Insurance and can’t wait to see the 2021/22 strategy come to life.”

“Your Life” campaign featuring model and podcast host Lousie Boyce (@mamastillgotit_) generated over 156,000 views and a 6.6% engagement rate. The four-part video series highlighted the difficulty faced if your vehicle was written off or stolen and you had to find a replacement using only the money from the comprehensive insurance pay out.

The idea reflected a strategic shift from the brand to focus more on the lifestyle benefits of having GAP Insurance, rather than the rational policy features.

ALA Insurance is an independent company founded in 1990 by Simon and Debra England. It is regulated by the FCA.

BIG little LDN was founded by Emma Critchley-Lloyd in 2017 who is a member of the DMA B2B Council.
