A day in the life.

A day in the life of an Insurance Marketing Lead is dynamic and multifaceted, centered around driving successful marketing activities for both new and renewal business. The lead begins by coordinating closely with the sales team, particularly supporting Sales Consultants in responding to Requests for Proposals and assisting in sales efforts. They serve as the consultative point of contact for the team, leveraging deep knowledge of applicable coverages, carrier guidelines, underwriting processes, alternative funding arrangements, and legislative changes to identify client needs and provide well-reasoned recommendations. Building and nurturing strong relationships with carrier representatives, teammates, and clients is a continuous priority, achieved through regular communication by phone, email, and in-person meetings.

Throughout the day, the marketing lead actively monitors the current marketplace to stay informed about risk transfer alternatives and carrier capabilities. They collaborate with local leadership to align with line-of-business strategies and promote best practices. A significant part of their role involves negotiating pricing, policy conditions, and terms with carriers to select the best options for clients within marketing guidelines. They lead the renewal process by preparing company applications, submissions, proposals, and finance agreements, while also assisting the Producer and account team in collecting client information and developing marketing and renewal strategies. Ultimately, the Insurance Marketing Lead directs and executes these strategies, ensuring smooth communication with carrier underwriters and delivering renewal recommendations to clients, all while driving the team toward successful outcomes.
