Grand Rapids, MI (May, 16 2011) – The Foremost Insurance Group^® released the next episode in their humorous Foremost Insurance Guy video series, The Foremost Neighborhood. The video features the Foremost Insurance Guy rapping about all of the things that make Foremost a leader in the insurance industry, while strolling through the Foremost neighborhood. Other recent videos have featured the Foremost Insurance Guy presenting a line of collectible plates featuring Foremost insurance programs and running a mascot talent competition to find his replacement.

“Time and again our Independent Producers ask us for help competing with carriers that have massive marketing budgets directly focused on consumers,” says Jeff Bair, executive director, Foremost Independent Agent Operations (AKA the Foremost Insurance Guy). “That’s why we create these videos and offer resources, such as the Foremost Social Media Suitcase, so they can better market themselves and the products they offer.”

The Foremost Social Media Suitcase, a tool for insurance producers that simplifies online marketing using social media networks, includes case studies, FAQs and step-by-step instructions to get started in social media, as well as regularly updated content that’s ready to use.

Foremost also encourages viewers to interact with the Foremost Insurance Guy on his Facebook page by selecting “Ask the Foremost Insurance Guy” and emailing him questions directly. If selected, questions will be answered by Facebook post, video or email.

Foremost plans to continue expanding the video series and will release additional episodes throughout the year. Appointed Foremost Insurance producers can access the Foremost Social Media Suitcase via the Growing My Business section of www.ForemostSTAR.com or www.IAProducers.com.
