Additionally, large cooperations frequently lack the specialized and marketing knowledge necessary to operate through new channels like Facebook. They take over these tasks, solving a concrete problem experienced by insurers: quickness, flexibility, and new business for new, young, and purely digital target audiences. |  | Seed | Mar 29, 2016 |  |
