Posted by Jason Mudd

Brightway Insurance

 

Brightway Insurance, a start-up independent insurance agency, wanted to expand its brand locally and nationally. When State Farm exited Florida's home insurance market, this campaign worked to expand Brightway Insurance’s recognition and position its CEO as a thought leader. As a result, this campaign helped position Brightway Insurance as a trusted go-to insurance expert, leading to a 300% increase in call volume in two weeks.

The business challenge

Brightway Insurance is Florida's fastest-growing independent insurance agency with 39 Florida offices serving 30,000 households across the state. When State Farm exited Florida's home insurance market, the campaign recognized an opportunity for Brightway Insurance’s expansion by positioning the company as the go-to insurance expert for the media as well as consumers.

 

The solution

This campaign worked to expand Brightway Insurance’s recognition and position its CEO as a thought leader after State Farm exited Florida's home insurance market. The campaign focused on engaging and pitching a variety of state and national news outlets in order to position the company as a leading insurance expert.

 

Axia Public Relations plays a valuable role in positively publicizing and promoting Brightway Insurance’s growth.”
