Lindsay, Stone & Briggs Gives SECURA Insurance an Advantage
MADISON, Wis. - Lindsay, Stone
& Briggs' (LSB) new print campaign for SECURA Insurance Companies bring
humor to the insurance category. The ads build on the "Success is Finding an
Advantage" campaign launched in November 2006, that targets independent
insurance agents with a simple message: SECURA gives agents the advantage they
need to achieve success.
"We wanted to bring some humor to a category where most of the ads are pretty
serious. We did so by creating metaphors that dramatize an advantage in fresh
and humorous ways," said Bill Winchester, LSB's VP/Creative Director. "For
instance, if you want a distinct advantage in talking your way out of a
speeding ticket, always have a donut handy."
"We were looking for a fresh way to communicate with independent agents," said
Jean Van Den Brandt, SECURA Insurance Director of Marketing, "LSB's use of
humor in these ads engages the reader and conveys a message that SECURA is a
company that agents want to do business with."
SECURA, an Appleton, Wis.-based mutual property and casualty insurance company
hired Madison, Wis.-based LSB in 2006. The three new print ads will replace the
campaign's initial three ads and will continue to run in publications targeting
independent insurance agents starting in September.
