In other life insurance company video news, the Great American Insurance Group annuity units have introduced a video series based on the slogan "Creating Great Retirements." The videos feature financial professionals talking about how clients can succeed, and about how they focus on their clients' needs. Donna Carrelli, a divisional vice president at Great American, said in the campaign announcement that the Cincinnati-based company is thankful for the thousands of financial professionals that choose to work with it. "We wanted to provide a simple and engaging way for advisors to share their experiences, not only with us, but with their peers as well," Carrelli said. "These videos, and the surrounding promotional campaign, provide a platform to do that." The company is trying to start a dialog with financial professionals by encouraging financial professionals who visit the campaign website to share their own secrets for success. In February, the company launched another video series, the "Great Retirements" series. That series of videos features Great American annuity customers talking about what they love about retirement. The videos in the first series have received about 300,000 views on YouTube, according to Great American. — Read 5 Top Annuity Videos of the Year, on ThinkAdvisor. — Connect with ThinkAdvisor Life/Health on LinkedIn and Twitter.
