Hit of the Week

On July 3rd our client Improv Aware Driver, an online defensive driving course received a fabulous placement on Examiner.com. The article was a homerun because it emphasized the course’s points of differentiation, including its fun and humorous approach to what is a traditionally dry subject matter. It also gave readers a complete overview of course and highlighted the course’s two main benefits – a mandatory 10% insurance discount for three years and qualification for point reduction on the participant’s license.

Examiner.com is a daily news and entertainment hub comprised of several regional editions and has over eight million visitors per month. The site covers every topic you can think of, so when we found the national insurance industry writer we knew it would be the perfect fit. Our client was thrilled with the placement and expressed how this is exactly the type of placement we were hoping to achieve.

Check out the course’s website, it’s definitively something to laugh about!

Hit of the Week: New York Times “Wheels Blog”

On May 18, our client Improv Aware Driver was one of the first four DMV approved online defensive driving courses to launch in New York state, allowing New Yorkers to qualify for a mandatory 10% three-year insurance discount and a four-point reduction on their driving record, without ever leaving the comforts of their home. With the intension of beating the competition, we reached out to a sampling of high-profile media outlets to arrange for our story to break the morning of the launch. With a few personalized pitches and some additional follow-up calls, we were thrilled to get a message from one of the New York Times Wheels bloggers late Friday afternoon. After providing some additional information, a couple of website URLs and scheduling a few interviews, our story on online defensive driving courses was posted on Monday morning featuring a quote from the company founder, Gary Alexander and a direct link to our client’s website! Though we were one of four approved online courses launching that day, Improv Aware Driver was the only course named and described in the New York Times article.
