Jon Anderson

Welcome to Agent Branding System. We’re industry natives with a pioneering approach to insurance and financial services agent branding and customer development.

Our mission is simple: To help insurance and banking services agents utilize digital channels to attract and convert more prospects.

We don’t rely on traditional, interruptive marketing methods such as paid advertising. Instead, we use the most cost-effective approach, which is Inbound Marketing.

The man behind the mission is Jon Anderson, a former AT&T Advertising Solutions General Manager and a former fully licensed Insurance and Financial Services Agent. Jon owns, and operates, a Google Certified Company (Local Leads Leader, LLC), is HubSpot Certified, MBA qualified, and steeped in experience and knowledge of insurance and financial services selling.

Agent Branding System was born out of necessity.

As an agent, Jon immediately recognized a tremendous marketing opportunity for the insurance and financial services industry. Parent brands of agents and agencies have sizeable marketing budgets and can take advantage of multiple digital marketing channels. But, for the average agent, affordability and accessibility to those same marketing channels are limited.

The need for affordable marketing and branding solutions within the insurance and financial services industry was clear. Thus began our mission to serve insurance agents, financial services agents, real estate agents, and most any other type of agent. We are here to help you brand and market your business with more impact. ABS will put your agency in a position that allows you to grow your book of business at a faster pace. We will help you leverage those marketing investments corporate is making in your local community

Our Insurance Marketing Philosophy

The Agent Branding System is built around the Inbound Marketing philosophy. We believe that if you understand the different stages, a prospect goes through before they become a customer, you can not only make a sale, you can nurture lifelong, loyal fans of your brand. History has shown that clients who are fans of your brand are likely to refer their friends and families to your agency.

The inbound methodology allows agents to attract, convert, close and delight prospects in more targeted ways than traditional marketing methods typically allow. With this system, you can build a brand rather than burn marketing dollars on unpredictable advertising methods.

We’re a Hubspot Certified Marketing Agency, and we live and breathe the inbound philosophy. If it works for us and countless others, it can work for your business, too!
