The Hollard Insurance Group comprising the Hollard Insurance Company and Hollard Life Assurance Company is South Africa’s
largest privately-owned insurance group, established in 1980. While things have progressed since then and Hollard has gone from
strength to strength, the team have never forgotten their roots – long term, genuine and mutually beneficial partnerships remain
at the core of everything they do today. A recent refresh in Hollard’s corporate identity (never a small undertaking), meant that the
Hollard intranet “MySite” needed to be refreshed by incorporating the new corporate identity, and a unique Hollard flourish.
“Mint was able to assist us with refreshing the look & feel of our Hollard Intranet. An integral part of the refresh
was to customise the “MySite” functionality to our expanded requirements, and to ensure that our new brand
was pulled through to our site”. Our staff are excited about the new look and seem to be more inclined to keep
their profiles updated as the Mint solution provided a great platform for staff to position and “brand”
themselves within the company.” Beverly Stockler – Brand Manage: Group Marketing

Hollard’s previous “MySite” and profile page on their intranet had Out of the box functionality which no longer met their needs as
additional functionality was required to make it their own. Hollard’s branding was previously not included in their MySites, and
they wanted to rectify this to fit in with their CI and Brand objectives, which they drive hard. Mint implemented the design and
requirements as provided by Hollard’s marketing department.
