The Client

For over 70 years, the Chartered Accountants (SA) Medical Aid Fund (CAMAF) has been operating as a self-administered and restrictive membership scheme providing exceptional, personalised benefits to eligible members within the accounting industry. The number of accounting firms selecting CAMAF as their preferred medical scheme continues to grow year on year, reflecting the service that puts CAMAF in a class of its own.

The Challenges

CAMAF wanted a tool that would enable them to seamlessly communicate with their members quickly and easily. They needed a way to make sure important messages – ranging from regular newsletters members, or communication to medical practitioners – not only reached their members’ inboxes reliably but were also clearly and consistently branded and designed to encourage direct engagement. Additionally, they were looking for a tool that could provide detailed reports and analytics to give them valuable insights into their professional membership base and the performance of their communications campaigns.
