From Price-Checking to Protection Gaps: Blue’s New Campaign Decodes Hongkongers’ Common Frustrations with Simple Solutions

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 August 2026 – Blue, Hong Kong’s first digital life insurer, has officially launched its new 2026 Brand Campaign. Designed with real-life scenarios in mind, this campaign shines a light on the everyday frustrations Hongkongers face—and shows how Blue is the simple solutions.

From Price-Checking to Protection Gaps: Blue's New Campaign Decodes Hongkongers' Common Frustrations with Simple Solutions

The campaign highlights three key consumer pain points and presents Blue’s competitive product offerings as straightforward solutions:

1. Smart Price Comparisons for Life Insurance
While consumers meticulously compare prices for flights, takeouts, and groceries, they often overlook doing the same for life insurance. To address this, Blue ‘WeCare Term Life Protection Plan TL3’ features a Lowest Rate Guaranteed [1]. Under this guarantee, if a customer finds a comparable online term life plan with a lower premium, Blue promises to beat that price, ensuring customers receive the most competitive rate in town.

2. Securing Guaranteed Savings Rewards
To counter the frustration of hard work yielding no guaranteed rewards, Blue’s range of savings plans offers secure, steady growth. Blue ‘WeSave Short Term Insurance Plan ST1’ allows customers to lock in a 3-year guaranteed return of 4.12% p.a. [2] with a single premium payment, receiving 112.9% of the total premium paid upon maturity.

3. Bridging the Gap in Group Medical Coverage
Many working professionals find that standard group medical insurance leaves them with significant out-of-pocket expenses. Blue ‘WeMedi Outpatient Protector’ and ‘WeMedi HK Dental Protector’ help alleviate these costs. ‘WeMedi Outpatient Protector’ provides access to 8 types of outpatient services at preferential rates [3]—including general practitioners, specialists, Chinese herbalists, bone-setting, acupuncture, physiotherapy, chiropractors, and dental service. Additionally, ‘WeMedi HK Dental Protector’ covers both basic and complex dental treatments [4] with an annual coverage limit of up to HK$17,000.

Comprehensive Multi-Channel Promotion
To maximize reach, Blue has rolled out an extensive multi-channel promotional campaign across digital and physical touchpoints in Hong Kong. The campaign’s core messages will be featured on online video platforms, social media, MTR station displays, bus seatback stickers, and various outdoor placements to deepen Blue’s connection with the mass public.

“Our goal is to put the power back into the hands of consumers,” said Mr. Danny Wu, VP & Head of Digital & Marketing of Blue. “Through our user-friendly digital platform, we give customers the freedom to choose transparent, high-value insurance solutions that truly fit their lives.”

To celebrate the launch, new users who successfully register as Blue members during the campaign period can receive a free beverage voucher. For more details about the campaign, please visit: https://www.blue.com.hk/hk/promotions/2026-branding-campaign

Blue Insurance Limited is authorized and regulated by the Insurance Authority under the Insurance Ordinance (Cap. 41) to sell insurance products in Hong Kong. Terms and conditions apply to the above products and offers. Please refer to the product documents and policy provisions for details.

Remarks

[1] “Lowest Rate Guaranteed” compares the standard premiums of two quotations. To be eligible for the “Lowest Rate Guaranteed”, the two quotations must be on the same sum assured, premium payment term, policy benefit term, issue age, sex, and smoking status, and is applicable to term life policies that are intended for online sale and in Hong Kong only. “Lowest Rate Guaranteed” is not applicable for submitted applications and inforced policies.

[2] “Guaranteed return rate 4.12% p.a.” refers to the annualised guaranteed return rate of the 3-year plan upon maturity. Early surrender charges apply. “WeSave Short Term Insurance Plan ST1” is a savings insurance plan, not a Bank savings product.

[3] One visit per each category of Outpatient Services per day. The discount may vary per network doctor and category of Outpatient Services.

[4] Coinsurance required for basic and complex treatments.

Public Invited to Tour New Phnom Penh Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 August 2026 – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is inviting the public to celebrate the completion of the Phnom Penh Cambodia Temple, and to tour the new temple. This sacred house of worship is the first Latter-day Saint temple in the Kingdom of Cambodia.

Phnom Penh Cambodia Temple - the first temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cambodia.
Phnom Penh Cambodia Temple – the first temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cambodia.

The First Presidency of the Church has announced that open house tours will run from Saturday, 15 August 2026, to Saturday, 22 August 2026, except on Sunday. The open house provides all people of all faiths the opportunity to tour the temple’s beautiful interior and grounds and learn about the purpose of this sacred structure.

Open house tours will be conducted:

  • Saturdays, 15 & 22 August: 9:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.
  • Monday–Friday, 17–21 August: 4:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.
  • Sunday, 16 August: No tours available.

The temple is located on Russian Federation Boulevard Phnom Penh 12040, on a 1.3-hectare site. Tours are free, and no reservations are needed. More information is available at https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/featured/phnom-penh-cambodia-open-house?lang=eng

Elder Eng Bunhuoch, an Area Seventy and senior leader of the Church in Cambodia, said, “The Phnom Penh Cambodia Temple is a testament to the enduring faith of our Cambodian members and will serve as a focal point of spiritual growth for many years to come. It is more than a building; it is a sacred space that symbolizes our commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the eternal nature of families.

“We invite all to come, learn, and walk with us in our holy temple. You can experience our impression of heaven on earth and the special feelings that exist in the House of the Lord. In this temple, you will feel peace, receive inspiration, feel His love, and draw closer to Him. Our members open their arms to you and invite everyone to share the joy we feel in the temple.”

Following the public open house, the temple will be formally dedicated on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The open house presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all members of the public to enter and tour the temple prior to its dedication. After the dedication, the temple grounds will remain open to visitors; however, entry into the temple itself will be reserved for faithful members of the Church.

There are nearly 18,000 members of the Church in Cambodia. The temple will serve Church members in Cambodia and parts of Vietnam.

The architecture of the temple is inspired by traditional Khmer design elements and cultural heritage, with a central spire surrounded by four smaller spires.

The temple was announced by Church President Russell M. Nelson on 7 October 2018. Groundbreaking was held 18 September 2021, with the dedicatory prayer offered by Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission President Veasna Kuonno Neang.

Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differ from meetinghouses or chapels, where members gather for Sunday worship services. Each temple is considered a House of the Lord, where Jesus Christ’s teachings are reaffirmed through sacred ceremonies that unite families eternally.

In the temple, Church members learn more about the purpose of life. They learn where we came from before birth, why we are on this earth, and what will happen after we die. In the temple, members make promises to follow Jesus Christ and to serve others.

New pavilions to this year’s event include British Columbia Government (Canada), Jeju Technopark (South Korea), Ministero dell’Agricoltura della Sovranità Alimentare e delle Foreste (MASAF) (Italy) and The French Chamber of Commerce Singapore (France/Singapore).

This full-spectrum lineup means that a hotel procurement manager, a supermarket buyer, a processing plant manager and a hatchery operator can each attend the same event and leave with new suppliers and new partnerships.

Business Matchmaking, New Products and Educational Opportunities

Beyond the exhibit hall, the event delivers a full program of business opportunities. Qualified high-volume importers and retail/foodservice buyers can participate in the Business Matchmaking Program, which facilitates structured, pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings with exhibiting suppliers.

An educational conference will bring together industry leaders to address seafood consumption trends and market outlook, AI in the supply chain, sustainability certification, RAS fish farming, processing trends across Asia and more.
