Insurance Post’s Top Tips

Insurance Post is looking for leading lights in the industry to share simple but effective ideas that could take insurance businesses and careers to the next level.

We are looking for insurance executives to be videoed at this year’s Biba Conference (15 - 16 May), on the Insurance Post stand, sharing their top tips.

Has your spokesperson got a great idea of how to improve operational efficiency, manage customer expectations, meet regulatory requirements, and create personalised, seamless insurance cover?

Could they quickly identify ways to improve product development pathways, communicate clearly with customers and attract top talent?

Can they share their advice in less than five minutes and be able sum it up in no more than two to three bullet points that will appear on-screen in the final edited video?

If you have a spokesperson who is willing to share their wisdom at Biba, then please email Emma Ann Hughes (emma.hughes@infopro-digital.com) with your spokesperson’s advice in bullet points plus when they have 15 minutes free to come to our stand to film their top tips.

  • No, you can’t get final sign-off

Dear PR friends,
Following some requests received by Insurance Post’s freelancers and in-house journalists, we’d like to clarify a few points regarding quotations.

  • We prefer you to trust us and not ask to check the quotations. Interviews are recorded; the points made by the spokesperson will be reported faithfully.
  • For features, if you need to get the quotes approved, let us know in advance and get them signed off well within deadline. You’ll be able to see your spokesperson’s quotes, not the whole article.
  • In some cases (technical points, figures, dates, unusual spellings), we’re happy for you to check we didn’t make mistakes.
  • Only factual mistakes will be amended.
  • We have a style guide and we’ll stick to it.

If you find these rules unreasonable, you may opt out of contributing comments. But we hope to continue working with you in a constructive and trusting atmosphere.
