Workflow 01 GIG Gulf · Marketing ● Pilot live

The story they couldn't quote.

A repeatable testimonial-reel production line for GIG Gulf. Customer-voiced. Scene-of-incident. UAE-underwriter-moat. The lane every other insurer left empty — claimed, with Arjun, in the Liwa desert.

The lane

An empty quadrant. We're claiming it.

InsuranceMarket and PolicyBazaar run heavy short-form across the Gulf — millions of views, proven format. But they own brand-voiced and aggregator-voiced. No one is doing customer-voiced + scene-of-incident from a UAE underwriter who can actually point to where the story happened.

That's our quadrant. Forty seconds of someone telling the camera what actually happened on the Liwa shoulder, with the brand sting on the back end. Hard to copy because it needs the underwriter and the customer in the same frame — and PolicyBazaar can't underwrite, InsuranceMarket can't deploy a tow.

"The story they couldn't quote."
InsuranceMarket
Mascot-voiced (Alfred). Aggregator framing. Comedy-first.
PolicyBazaar
India-Hinglish + couch-shot TVC cut-downs. Brand-voiced.
Secondary insurers
Brand-voiced corporate. No scene. No customer face.

Pilot 01 · Desert Tow

Motor. Hardest to copy. Visually viral-shaped.

Arjun, Indian expat, 38. Ineos Grenadier on the Liwa shoulder. Golden hour. The story he just lived.

Why this pilot first

Four reasons, in order.

Motor is GIG's biggest commercial challenge — the pilot has to move the metric that matters. No aggregator and no non-UAE insurer can claim "we drive into the desert to find you." Desert + 4×4 + family-at-risk is scroll-stop imagery. And the format defends GIG's regional moat against global brand polish.

Soul-locked

Arjun — character identity, frozen.

Trained from 6 reference photos. Every future Arjun reel uses the same soul_id — no drift, no character bounce.

Indian expat, late 30s. Casual UAE wardrobe, warm features, candid selfie comfort. The face every Arjun reel inherits from cycle two onward.

Credits and state

Sunk cost is the soul-id training. Forward spend is small.

Most of the spend so far bought the locked character. Cycle 2 onward, each new reel uses Arjun without re-paying for him.
