MINNEAPOLIS – EMC’s participation on TrustedChoice.com provides local independent insurance agents access to specialty commercial insurance buyers they may not otherwise have the resources to reach. “We have watched TrustedChoice.com grow significantly in the last three years, so it was time for us to add TrustedChoice.com to our digital marketing strategy,” said Rob Friedman, EMC’s vice president of marketing. “Joining helps our agents get more lead opportunities for the business they have an interest in writing most. It is a win-win for consumers, our agents and EMC.”
