AICPCU / IIA's Steve Ryan on Why Strong Branding is Built on Solid Research

Before the American Institute for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters and Insurance Institute of America (AICPCU/IIA) could start their project to reposition and rebrand, they first had to learn exactly where they stood in the minds of students, industry supporters, prospects and their own employees. Getting the research process right meant discovering strengths, but also getting an accurate look at shortcomings, then deciding how to address them. Steve Ryan, director of marketing communication for those groups, will be a featured speaker at the 2010 Insurance Marketing and Advertising Summit, set for Nov. 4.
