Key Quotes:

“I realized if we could help producers and the agencies they work for build better marketing messages directed at the right people, everything would change. And we've seen the fruits of that from our clients.” - Andy Neary

“The best marketing is the most simple, clearest marketing. And people don't like hearing that, because they love their fancy words, and they love the catchy phrases they use. But if people don't understand what you're talking about, none of it matters.” - Andy Neary

“I urge any agency, any producer who has reached that point to go, what are you going to do to double your book of business without all the effort that you had to put in to get to the first million or first five, whatever that number is? Brand recognition is the name of the game.” - Andy Neary
