Onlia Joins with Carrot Rewards to Help Make Canada a Safer Place
TORONTO, March 26, 2019 /CNW/ - Onlia Holding Inc., a new company offering innovative digital auto insurance and mobile app, today announced it is working with Carrot Rewards, Canada's most popular wellness app and AI-driven engagement platform, to help launch its entrance into the Canadian marketplace.
Toronto-based Onlia is disrupting the insurance industry by taking a non-conventional approach to making Canada's roads safer. Onlia is using nudge theory and behavioural economics to help educate and inform Canadians about how they think about safety, by motivating and rewarding safe drivers via the Onlia Sense™ app. At Onlia, safety comes first and insurance is a close second. As Onlia is focused on creating safe behaviour changes, there is no better alignment to help promote this vision than Carrot.
"We're creating a community to make Canada a safer place, testing safety concepts with brand actions, and providing the tools and motivation to facilitate safer behaviours," said Bonny van Rest, Onlia's Chief Marketing Officer. "We're excited to leverage the Carrot platform to inform and engage Canadians by nudging and rewarding them for making better, safer driving choices."
Carrot is uniquely qualified to work with Onlia as it has over 1 million registered users that are interested in making better lifestyle choices for themselves and their families. Carrot has worked with partners in the public and private sectors to educate and motivate its users with engaging content that drives change.
The initial program launches on the Carrot app today with one of three educational quizzes that will educate users about driving and community safety, as well as safety tips to help drive lasting behavior change.
"Onlia is rethinking the way Canadians approach safety and insurance, and we're thrilled that they chose Carrot as a way to raise awareness," said Lorne Solway, chief marketing and strategy officer, Carrot Rewards. "Carrot is known for driving positive, sustainable behaviour change, and we're happy to play a role in making the roads a safer place for Canadians to travel on."
