After 138 years in business, Securian Financial launched a new brand and first-ever national consumer advertising campaign in 2018. While quietly competing for years against financial services giants with household names, Securian's leaders knew the industry and marketplace were changing and that lack of brand recognition posed a threat. The company prioritized investing in brand: building a new consumer-facing brand platform and identity system, developing brand ambassador and employee engagement programs, launching an industry-differentiated campaign, "Every Moment Counts" and placing advertisements for traditional and digital media. Results have exceeded expectations with campaign KPIs beating benchmarks by up to 8X. The new brand gained high praise from stakeholders for employee engagement and sales growth. In this session, Joe Lutz, Brand Manager will share how they turned what has been a competitive disadvantage into a differentiator.
