Alliant National announces internship program, introduces first intern Kamilah Brennen

The claims and Florida underwriting departments have collaborated to create a paid internship program at Alliant National.

The internship program was created to foster greater awareness and interest in our unique industry, by engaging with students at local law schools.

The program kicked into gear last March, with the selection of the program’s first intern, Kamilah Brennen. Kamilah attended George Washington University for her undergraduate studies and is currently attending Florida A&M University College of Law. She is in the Top 5 percent of her class and graded onto the Law Review.

In her downtime, Kamilah enjoys playing softball, basketball, and mountain biking. She also enjoys reading and watching sci-fi books and movies.

Kamilah will be working at our Oviedo office and will have the opportunity to shadow the underwriting and claims teams, and observe other departments’ functions.

We interviewed several applicants at local law schools, and Kamilah stood out to us as a very caring and bright applicant. We are very excited to have Kamilah with us!

What is earned media management?

And why’s it important to the success of your business?

There’s a better way to boost brand awareness that doesn’t involve paid marketing, namely advancing your public relations efforts using earned media management as part of your key messaging and storytelling strategies.

Earned media management is focusing on journalists, influencers and consumers to promote your brand through word-of-mouth, news coverage, shares on Facebook, retweets on Twitter, and website comments and feedback. It’s publicity that’s created by a third party – and it’s free.

And while it’s not rocket science, engagement is key, as is creating compelling, relevant and informative content for your brand – stories, posts and tweets that are share-worthy.

And building online relationships with your core audience is vital, as those are the people who will help you expand your reach. 

Between 25 and 40 percent of website traffic and lead generation results from earned media, and consumers, journalists and influencers who share messaging on social networks can potentially reach thousands – even millions – of people.

What is “Branding” & Why’s It Important?

None of the rules are anchored in stone

Think of a product or products that you gravitate toward. Maybe you like Nikes better than New Balance. Maybe a Dodge product means superior quality in automotive craftsmanship.

Do you know why (and how) you draw the conclusions you do? Do you understand what made you choose your last purchase over competitors’

Branding helped you choose. Branding is why “Band-Aid” brand is so recognizable (though there are plenty of other adhesive bandages to choose from). There are too many soda options to list here, but pretty much everyone on the planet knows what Coca Cola is, and their sales continue to stay strong.

Branding your agency is critical. It does not have to cost a lot of time or money, but it does require some thought and intention. Here’s a bit on branding in 2019. No one writes the rules and none of the rules are anchored in stone. But being mindful of what to consider when branding your agency – which is the public’s perception of you – helps you hit the branding bullseye.
