Your daily insurance update.
This is the first, raw bash at a concept I have been procrastinating over for months, so I am just hitting publish to get over that hump!
The concept is simple; ‘insurance in 60’, a daily insurance roundup in 60 seconds.
With it being the first episode I thought I would give a little context. I sit down each morning and trawl through the news, keep across what’s new and so I thought wouldn’t it be great to short circuit this process for everyone else.
The aim is simple; in just 60 seconds whilst brushing your teeth or having your morning coffee, get up to date with what is new insurance, all things insurtech and with occasional a sprinkle of fintech news, so you don’t have to look for it yourself.
Take 60 seconds out of your day and see what you think!
(The timing with news, publishers and social is co-incidental, but an interesting co-incidence!! More beautiful editing to come!)
