Today Aetna unvei­led a refres­hed brand pro­mise as the com­pany con­ti­nues its evo­lu­tion from an insurance car­rier to a health solu­ti­ons com­pany. The most visi­ble ele­ment of Aetna’s refres­hed brand is a vibrant new look and logo -- reflec­ting Aetna’s new vision to the mar­ket­place. Far beyond a look or logo, the revi­ta­liza­tion of the brand is focu­sed on dri­ving increa­sed con­su­mer enga­ge­ment in their health care and empower­ing people to live healt­hier lives.

 

»We want to help make health care work bet­ter for ever­yone,« said Aetna Chair­man and CEO Mark T. Ber­to­lini. »Aetna’s refres­hed brand reflects our goal of com­bi­ning inno­va­tive bene­fits pro­ducts, game-changing tech­no­lo­gies, and col­la­bo­ra­tive rela­ti­onships with the pro­vi­der com­mu­nity to create a sys­tem that is more con­nec­ted, con­ve­ni­ent and cost-effective. Aetna is uni­quely posi­tio­ned to deli­ver on this goal.«

 

As Aetna con­ti­nues its evo­lu­tion from a health insurance car­rier to a health solu­ti­ons com­pany, it is reframing its offe­rings into four benefit-focused cate­go­ries that con­nect people to:

-- Qua­lity health plans and bene­fits: plans, pro­ducts, net­works, ser­vices, pro­grams and tools that pro­mote indi­vi­dual, family and employee health.

-- Healt­hier living: well­ness infor­ma­tion, resour­ces and sup­port to help indi­vi­du­als, fami­lies and com­mu­nities thrive.

-- Finan­cial well-being: plans, pro­ducts, ser­vices, pro­grams and tools that help people manage their health care spen­ding and deli­ver finan­cial peace of mind.

-- Intel­li­gent solu­ti­ons: insights and exper­tise that enhance pro­duc­tivity or busi­ness results.

 

These cate­go­ries bet­ter explain Aetna’s cur­rent offe­rings, pro­mote clear, sim­ple and benefit-oriented com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons, and pro­vide insight into Aetna’s future offerings.

 

Aetna has alre­ady begun brin­ging its refres­hed brand to life with inno­va­tive bene­fits packa­ges, industry-leading resour­ces that help people shop for health care based on out-of-pocket costs and out­co­mes, and more than half a dozen uni­que accoun­ta­ble care arran­ge­ments. In the months ahead, Aetna will con­ti­nue this work with the intro­duc­tion of new mobile app­li­ca­ti­ons, access to enhan­ced resour­ces and infor­ma­tion, and even more col­la­bo­ra­tive rela­ti­onships with the health care com­mu­nity. Begin­ning this spring, Aetna’s adver­ti­sing and mar­ke­ting cam­paigns will reflect the vibrant new look and feel of the brand.

 

»By 2012, half a bil­lion people will use health care app­li­ca­ti­ons globally.(1) The mes­sage is clear -- con­su­mer empower­ment is com­ing to health care,« said Robert M. Mead, senior vice pre­si­dent of Aetna Mar­ke­ting, Pro­duct and Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons. »As we con­ti­nue our evo­lu­tion to become a health solu­ti­ons com­pany, Aetna is offe­ring far more than inno­va­tive bene­fits packa­ges that appeal to con­su­mers. Aetna is con­nec­ting people to health care infor­ma­tion and ser­vices in rele­vant and mea­ningful ways, hel­ping them do more online and on the go. We’re put­ting the power of health in people’s hands, hel­ping them under­stand their health care and bene­fits, make con­fi­dent choices, and lead healt­hier lives.«

 

Aetna’s new logo cele­bra­tes the equity and tra­di­tion of the Aetna name in a way that is both con­tem­porary and opti­mistic. Aetna is sym­bo­li­cally rein­for­cing its 160-year history, its dedi­ca­tion to buil­ding rela­ti­onships with its mem­bers, cust­o­mers and pro­vi­ders and its brand pro­mise of a con­nec­ted health care expe­ri­ence through the inclu­sion of a con­nec­ted »a« and »e.« Known as a liga­ture, the con­nec­tion of the two let­ters was used in the Aetna logo for 151 years, before being reti­red in 2001. It returns today as a uni­que sym­bol of Aetna’s brand and its heri­tage. Glo­bal stra­te­gic bran­ding firm Siegel+Gale advi­sed Aetna on bran­ding and design.

 

As part of a rene­wed focus on actively lis­ten­ing to con­su­mers, Aetna also will be initia­ting the Empowered Health Index. This sur­vey will assess and regu­larly mea­sure the needs, fee­lings and beha­vi­ors of adult health care con­su­mers. Aetna will release its fin­dings later this year, and will be using them to inform new pro­grams, tools and resour­ces that will help con­su­mers bet­ter engage with their health care pro­vi­ders and manage their health and wellness.
