Trusted Choice® is a national consumer brand uniting more than 10,000 independent agencies and more than 60 insurance companies that support them. This new consumer marketing brand was developed by the Big “I” for its members in response to eroding market share, and it is the result of significant consumer and industry research.
Using national advertising, public relations and local agency marketing, we are communicating to consumers that Trusted Choice® is the smart way to buy insurance and financial services. As a member of Trusted Choice®, you can use this new consumer-tested name, logo and tagline, as well as professionally produced advertising materials for television, radio and newspapers. Plus, the Trusted Choice® Agency Locator sends qualified leads directly to your desktop.
Groundbreaking consumer research, conducted by an independent branding and research firm, led to the creation of Trusted Choice®. In short, this research revealed that consumers don’t know where to find an insurance agent but know that they want choice of policies, customization of coverage and advocacy support with insurance companies.
These are the very attributes that your agency delivers to its clients everyday. Trusted Choice® was created to give independent agencies and brokerage firms a more solid brand identity with consumers.
Read the branding research to learn more about consumer perceptions of insurance providers and the insurance-buying process.
