Itasca,
Illinois (March 8, 2005) Associated Risk Managers (ARM),
the nation's foremost independent agency network, has contracted
with Konlon & Associates, Inc. to implement
a powerful branding campaign. Aggressive business-building
programs will debut at the National Annual Conference in
San Antonio, Texas, April 19 - 21, 2005. The campaign represents
ARM’s commitment to expanding resources, growing
market presence, and increasing agent opportunities.
The
new positioning will reinforce ARM's foundation and increase
visibility beyond its own force to non-members and carriers. "Our
standards are high," says ARM's Executive Director,
Mr. Paul Ross."We attract only the
best organizations for membership." Among ARM's most
recent developments is a win-win program for members, state
groups and finance companies. The new ARM Finance Co. (ARMFICo),
financed almost $92 million as of year-end 2004, 14.8% over
2003.
