??”It’s so slick that it doesn’t even look like an insurance website.”?? As a communications partner to some of the best storytellers in the industry, we know websites have to do more for our clients than the average insurance brand exercise. That’s why CoVerse Communications is proud to offer full-service website strategy services through our partner Motive Engage. From early stage insurtech startups to established broker and carrier brands… from risk and claims tech to optimized digital selling… they’ve strategized, constructed, and launched sites that sizzle.?? When we need to deliver a website, we call Lance and Max. Existing CoVerse Communications, get a meet & greet and consult session for free when you have a monthly or quarterly agreement in place!

?? "We asked *everywhere.* We just couldn't find any qualified women to speak on that topic [for our conference]." ?? Introducing a brand new series from CoVerse Communications:??STALE TALES: Volume 1??Every woman in insurance has some #StaleTales to share, and some are pretty cringey. But this #WomensHistoryMonth we are lifting the veil on some of the worst we've heard—NOT to shame or blame, but to educate, uplift, and turn "Stale Tales" into #ShePrevails. ?? All-male panels and even all-male events are, sadly, still not a thing of the past. ?? Luckily, many of the best conferences in insurance—including many run by men—are fiercely committed to putting more women front & center. ??? In the video below, we share a number of data points around women in insurance, from the demographics within our industry to the buying power of the women we sell to. ?? Do you have a "Stale Tale to She Prevails" story to share? ???? Feel free to pop it into the comments below and we'll turn it into a video for our month of recognition. Want to keep it anonymous? Email or DM Kelly J. Landrigan [email protected] and we'll help you out. Tagging some of the amazing speakers pictured in Volume One who are shining on stages all around the globe, and some of the men sponsoring and shining a light on their stories!
