Association

College Athlete Advertising Campaign

April marked the end of the IIA of IL’s first campaign with MOGL - a marketplace connecting college athletes with brands everywhere. With help from a grant from Trusted Choice, the IIA of IL created a campaign with athletes to explain the importance of an Independent Insurance Agent.

The MOGL team, with input from IIA of IL staff, reached out to many college athletes, starting with those from Illinois or attending college in Illinois, and then expanded to well-known national schools.

In all, 17 college athletes posted to their social media feeds on the importance of a Trusted Choice Independent Agent. The goal in this campaign was to not only explain the difference between an independent and captive agent, but to also encourage these young athlete’s followers to visit TrustedChoice.com to find a local agent.

IIA of IL CEO Phil Lackman currently serves as Vice President of Independent Agent Association Executives (IAAE), a group of executives from states under the Big “I” Umbrella.

This month, Phil virtually attended IAAE’s second annual summit, a collaborative effort to improve communication between the states and the Big “I”.

IIA of IL members and association staff attended the Big “I” Federal Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. in late APril. Twenty-four Illinois members and staff attended 13 congressional meetings spread out between two days. We had extremely productive meetings with many members of congress and/or their staff. Staff returned from the event at press time. Here is a sneak peek of some of the photos from the visit to our nation’s Capital. Read the full update on the event in the June issue of Insight.
