Insurance Innovation
Insurance Innovation covers interesting topics for life and health insurance marketers and execs. We focus on topics that matter to marketers, carriers and service providers - what is selling, who is buying, marketing tactics and techniques, using data effectively, platforms for marketing, career advice and of course innovation. We feature executive guests who bring a wide range of experiences across insurance categories and channels of distribution. Our host Alan Edgin leads the conversation based on his own 20+ years of experience in the business, with sales and marketing experience at carriers, IMOs and his own IMO. Join us!
