American Family Insurance Receives Gold Aurora Awards

CHICAGO (April 28, 2011) — The Aurora Awards have honored American Family Insurance with two Gold Awards for two television spots: Spanish-language “Nadie Como Tu” and English-language “Three Kids.” Created by multicultural advertising agency, The San Jose Group, the television spots were considered among the best in their industry.

“We are a company that really cares about our clients and understands what their needs are,” said Telisa Yancy, Advertising Director for American Family Insurance. “We are proud to receive this honor from the Aurora Awards.”The core message of the “Nadie Como Tu” spot is that American Family Insurance celebrates each customer’s unique needs.  Featuring the song, “No Hay Nadie Como Tu” (“There’s Nobody Like You”), by Calle 13, a very famous duo of Puerto Rican singers, the spot marks the first time an insurance provider featured a Latin Grammy award winner for best alternative song in a Hispanic campaign. The scenes in the spot were developed and produced to reflect the lyrics of the song and further strengthen the emotional connection with the Hispanic consumer.The “Three Kids” television spots focus on the busy life of the total market mom, featuring different scenes driving her kids to and from various activities. The universal sentiment in the spots is that every mom’s life is hectic and a little chaotic, and each family has different needs. The concept was developed from a global truth that transcends traditional segmentation to effectively resonate with both markets. American Family Insurance understands that every family is unique, and offers custom insurance policies that fit their needs while making the process easy.“We can see why our campaigns are being awarded, because we apply our Convergent Marketing Solutions model, based on the reality that today’s general market is now multicultural,” stated George L. San Jose, president and COO for The San Jose Group.

The Aurora Awards is an international film and video competition designed to recognize excellence in programs and commercials. Participants are judged on creativity, message effectiveness, and technical excellence.
