San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 6, 2008 -- Intercare Insurance Solutions, an innovator in value-based benefits and corporate wellness programs, has selected Gable PR to provide public relations and marketing communications programs to support its growth in multiple markets.
The insurance broker specializes in providing Fortune 500 quality plans and programs to middle-market clients. Its incentivized approach to health insurance -- rewarding wellness rather than managing sickness -- has helped it grow from 19th to third largest insurance broker in San Diego, making it one of the fastest growing insurance brokers in the West. The firm is now bringing its successful approach to Houston and the Bay Area.
"We have recruited some of the most experienced and innovative minds in the business who are challenging traditional notions about what insurance brokerages can do for their clients," said Mike Barone, Intercare president. "Gable PR will help us build broader awareness about how our incentive-based approach makes employees healthier and more productive."
Intercare was founded in 1994 on the principle that insurance should be viewed as an investment rather than a cost. Intercare designs insurance plans that encourage employees to take a more-active approach to managing their health, with a strong focus on measuring and tracking actual results. This differs from typical approaches to wellness, which provide incentives but do not track actual progress.
"Intercare breaks the mold of the traditional broker, and their approach to measuring health and tracking progress has resulted in some incredible success stories among a wide range of clients," said Tom Gable of Gable PR. "We look forward to sharing these compelling case histories with the media and to reaching out to mid-sized businesses in San Diego, Houston, and the Bay Area."
Barone said Intercare believes almost every company will want to look at how it can adjust its benefits package to make its employees healthier and more productive once it adopts the concept of insurance as an investment, not an expense.
"Public relations will be an integral part of our marketing and branding programs," Barone said. "Gable PR has great case histories in complex business-to-business programs and we're looking forward to their aggressive support."
The public and media relations program will be managed by Erin Koch, Gable PR director. The agency team includes professionals with significant community relations, media relations, event planning, and media training experience.
