Farmsure

Who are Farmsure
Farmsure is a multi-million insurance underwriting company providing insurance cover to the agricultural industry via brokers.
How our relationship began
I was asked to help develop the national launch of Farmsure after the success of previous work I had undertaken for the company.
A snippet of my contribution
Marketing is every communication you have with the world outside your business [Levinson, 1994]. I was set this task by Farmsure - to develop and manage all the marketing for the entire business.
Farmsure had been growing organically in the market for some years but Mark wanted to take the business to a new level by enabling brokers to set up their client's insurance online - a major innovation in the agricultural market. I worked closely with the business to rebrand Farmsure and then construct a marketing plan to support the delivery of some aggressive business development targets. The full plan included deep customer profiling, defining the brand identity and a complete interrelated strategic action plan for eight separate marketing channels including; email marketing, social media, pay-per-click, referrals, existing customers, etc.
Once complete, I wrote the collateral for the three main insurance products (for both digital and print), conference materials, banners, merchandise, website and customer engagement materials. This also included identifying the key benefits of each product and linking the benefits to frustrations within the market to magnify their overall effect
Farmsure was launched at a broker conference and immediately won new business and increased business from existing brokers.
We will be launching the brand to the entire broker community in the next few months, but in the meantime, my work has created a large increase in quotes and sales in recent months.
