Q3 INTEGRATED CONSUMER CAMPAIGNSNEW! NEW BRAND CAMPAIGN LAUNCH IN Q3 Integrated marketing continues to develop and execute advertising campaigns to drive brand health and customer acquisition. Our initiatives leverage two differ- ent strategies, storytelling and story enablement, to increase brand awareness amongst insurance consumers and generate product quotes. In Q3, successful creative like “Son” (pictured on the cover) will continue, and new campaigns such as the upcoming television spot titled “This” (pictured at left) will launch. “This” will be unveiled first to the field at the All American 2018 conference in Nashville, and then go into broadcast late July. New brand advertising will launch late summer. Storytelling like this helps drive brand awareness. • The new campaign will highlight the American Family Insurance brand. • The messaging will instill optimism, while reaffirming the positioning of the company and brand as the champion and protector for dreamers. • This will complement the other campaign materials while creating memorability and goodwill. • The auto-themed film “Road Trip” continues, along with an auto quote campaign. • A new television spot “Son,” featuring a father and son, launched as part of the home campaign in June, along with tactical efforts designed to increase quote requests. • New advertising materials that promotes renters, habitational, life, and farm/ranch will also be added in Q3. Q3 Integrated Consumer Campaigns: The goal of the campaigns is to increase unaided awareness of AmFam, while also driving leads for the product line.
