Cathay shows up in 2024-2025 as a financial-services brand quietly migrating away from classic broadcast brand-building toward MarTech-driven 1:1 personalization (CUBE App), recurring CRM-style health/ESG platforms ('步步攻億走'), and event-led thought leadership (Cathay Tech Con, InsurX Day). The tone of holding-level work is institutional, sustainability-coded, and emotionally measured. Subsidiary-level work is starting to fragment in voice — Cathay Securities went pop/comedic with Crowd Lu in May 2025, breaking from the warm-documentary Cathay Life house style. Weak spots: no new holding-level brand platform since the 60th anniversary in 2022; the most-covered marketing story (AI personalization) is told as an engineering win, not an agency win.

Pitch now.
Wedge 1 — 'You don't have a brand platform problem, you have a brand platform GAP.' Cathay has not had a fresh holding-level creative platform since the 2022 60th anniversary. The flagship '給人幸福' line is a decade old. Pitch: lead a 2026/2027 brand-platform rebuild that ties the EPS framework (Elder-friendly, Protection-first, Sustainability) into a single forward-looking creative idea Ogilvy hasn't delivered.
