Advertising:
Commissioned Research and Analysis for a
fast-growing global advertising services company. Scope of research was limited
to a one-week deadline for collection of news and interviews for five (5)
rival advertising conglomerates, detailing their recent mergers and acquisitions
strategy, current major client relationships and revenue sources and future
plans for growth. Project culminated in delivery of each of five competitor
growth profiles on schedule and summary analysis of likely future plans based
upon scenario planning techniques and study of past growth
vectors.
Insurance:
Commissioned Research and Analysis for a major
international life insurance company. Project scope was to provide deliverable
intelligence product covering the four (4) main Factors Impacting Product
Performance with Five (5) Year Averages for the 40 major stock and mutual
life insurers in the U.S. Primary objective of this project was to compile
data for assembly into a product brochure for agent salesforce to prospect
with; secondary objective of the project was for industry sector benchmarking
of key success factors (KSFs). Aurora delivered results for the following
four evaluation criteria -- Lapses (Ordinary Life Renewal Lapse Ratio), Expenses
(General Expense to Premium Ratio), Investments (Investment Yield Ratio),
and Mortality (Mortality Ratio). Since all firms in the industry need to
address the same areas over time, a company that is more efficient in these
areas provides better value to its policy holders. Raw data was gathered
from Best's Insurance Reports, U.S. Annual Statements (NAIC) and other primary
sources.
