21、%from 2020 to 2023,outpacing the national average of 13%.Florida,in particular,has seen skyrocketing premiums.Despite higher premiums,a surge in claims from severe weather events has forced some insurers out of the market,leaving regulators struggling to balance affordability with adequate coverage

60、oments stand out:The first was in 2020 when our then-new CEO introduced the One Aviva strategy.This unified our business,focusing on where we had the greatest strength and growth potential.It gave us a galvanising belief:that our brand was stronger as a unified whole rather than a sum of individual

61、parts.It reinforced our unique strength of being one of the few UK companies that serves customers across their lifespan,from their first savings to retirement.The second milestone was translating our business strategy into a brand strategy.|We built on our breadth and depth while recognising that f

62、inance is complex.Our brand strategy became about making the complex world of financial services click for people,helping them engage.This extended to businesses,large and small,and the broader market infrastructure across the UK,Canada and Ireland.The third pivotal moment was“unlocking”our brand.Wi

63、th a clear business and brand strategy,we launched our brand platform and campaign,Making it Click,in December 2022.We focused on our brand expression how we look,sound and feel.We evolved our expression from Aviva being perceived as cold,faceless,and old-fashioned to being experienced as warm,human

64、,modern and empathetic.Our updated sponsorship strategy was designed to provide a tangible experience of our brand in action,built around the idea of Positive Spaces.In 2023,we launched Aviva Studios,the largest investment in a national cultural project since the opening of Tate Modern.It attracted

65、more than 700,000 visitors in its first year and was named by TIME Magazine as one of the Top 100 Places to Visit in the World in 2024.Finally,we made sure to bring the entire organisation along with us.We built the brand from the inside out,recognising that our people are one of our strongest brand

67、and goals?Bringing colleagues with us has been pivotal in Avivas brand transformation.From the start,we recognised that our colleagues are not just employeesthey are living embodiment of our brand.We started by speaking to colleagues across the UK,Canada,and Ireland,across business units and at all

68、tenure levels,to understand their lived experience of our brand.What we heard was striking:internally,Aviva was seen as human-centric,caring,and empathetic.However,external research showed the brand was perceived as cold,faceless,and even masculine,lacking the warmth our people knew was at our heart

69、.So,rather than reinvent,we amplified.We called this process amplifying the brand magicunearthing the care,warmth and authenticity already within Aviva and finding ways to express it outwardly.Our colleagues provided a lot of feedback through testing.We followed a similar approach when we were devel

91、 the approach and assumptions differ.As a result,published brand values can be different.These differences are similar to the way equity analysts provide business valuations that are different to one another.The only way you find out the“real”value is by looking at what people really pay.As a result

92、,Brand Finance always incorporates a review of what users of brands actually pay for the use of brands in the form of brand royalty agreements,which are found in more or less every sector in the world.This is sometimes known as the“Royalty Relief”methodology and is by far the most widely used approa
