2022 MarDreamies Award Best In Show Category Winner: INSURICA

Here’s the solution that won the MarDreamies 2022 award for the Best In Show category, which recognizes the overall winner from Mardreamies Award submissions. The MarDreamies Best In Show award went to INSURICA, which was submitted by Andy Paden.

What does INSURICA do?

Placing over $1 billion in annual premiums for our clients, INSURICA is among the 50 largest insurance brokers in the United States and is currently the 24th largest privately-held independent agency in the country.

INSURICA employs more than 700 colleagues in 35+ offices located throughout Oklahoma, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Mississippi and Texas. They are constantly looking to expand their network with partners who bring additional value and expertise to the enterprise and clients.

Award-winning solution details

INSURICA wanted a way to pull in data from the Department of Transportation (DOT) alongside their client’s information/statistics. Their intention for the project is to offer a well-rounded picture of their DOT data with the end result being a customized report by account. 

By developing a connection between the data into Sales Cloud and using Pardot to call that information into an email template with merge tags.

How it works

Here’s how the solution pulls Department of Transportation Data into Salesforce and uses merge tags to dynamically populate email in Pardot. 

Using the API to call in DOT data to Sales Cloud, and the database updates that pull on a monthly basis. TO accomplish that, the team developed custom Sales Cloud fields on the account object. Then, the solution parses that data over to Pardot via mapped fields. 

Additionally, the team uses an email template with custom merge fields to populate data in a report-like layout template. Then, sales team lead members enroll their accounts to receive the email using a custom Salesforce flow action on the account record page.

Data updates monthly and the report needs to be refreshed to ensure the most up-to-date information.

And the results speak for themselves. The team at INSURICA now has custom data-centric reports to enrolled accounts.

Congratulations to the Best In Show Winners

Marketers often turn to third-party data sources to accomplish their goals. The team at INSURICA now has a customized view of carrier data that varies by account, and it does that through an innovative API-driven solution that lead to their MarDreamies Best in Show award.
