Following on from its successful TV advertising campaign aimed at supporting brokers, Aviva will be running further press and radio advertisements advising businesses to seek help and advice through a broker when buying their business insurance.

Following on from its successful TV advertising campaign aimed at supporting brokers, Aviva will be running further press and radio advertisements advising businesses to seek help and advice through a broker when buying their business insurance. 

The radio ads will again feature actor and comedian Paul Whitehouse, and will air on commercial radio stations from 3-16 May.

Paul will once again take on his humorous role of Damien the hairdresser and he will be encouraging businesses to talk to their broker for the best value cover for their business.

Brian Spinks, head of corporate marketing at Aviva, says: "We were blown away by the great feedback from brokers, following the success of our first ever broker specific TV ad campaign. Continuing to support the expertise and knowledge that the broker channel provides is very important to us.

"Whilst the economy is moving slowly out of recession we know that businesses are still finding it tough and need guidance on what cover is right for them.

"We firmly believe brokers are best placed to provide that advice which is why our latest advertising campaign on radio and in print, is designed to help reinforce this message."
