TORONTO, April 2, 2014 /CNW/ - Today, S&E Sponsorship Group Inc. (S&E) is proud to announce that it has been selected as the Sponsorship Agency of Record for Intact Insurance (Intact). S&E will work alongside Intact's brand team and existing agency network to develop and execute the brand's sponsorship strategy providing overall strategy consulting, property evaluations, and negotiation services.
"Over the past few years we have successfully used sports sponsorship (amateur and professional) to build our brand, engage the pride of employees, and showcase our leadership to brokers. We look forward to working with S&E to further leverage our sponsorships and grow the Intact brand. The passionate and disciplined approach that their agency brings to sponsorship marketing deeply resonated with our organization," said Monika Federau, Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy Officer at Intact Financial Corporation. "Intact is guided by our strong corporate values. We believe in respect, integrity, social responsibility, and striving for excellence to over-deliver for our clients. It was important to us to find an agency that shared these values. In S&E, we are confident that we have found that agency."
"It is an incredible privilege to work with the largest home, auto, and business insurer in Canada," said S&E Sponsorship Group's President & CEO Brian Cooper. "At S&E, we are proud to work alongside category leaders in sponsorship. Our business with Intact Insurance is a continuation of that commitment. S&E will provide strategic counsel to Intact that is guided by our key operating principles: dedicated client service, discipline and analytical rigour, and an integrated and collaborative approach to account management."
Brand-agency fit is important to both Intact and S&E. As S&E Partner and Vice-President, Strategy Matthew Logue noted, "It was clear in our initial meetings with Intact Insurance that there was a sense of shared values, and an equal belief in the potential of sponsorship as a strategic platform for the brand.
