Life Insurance Awareness Month Approaches

The relationship will help Life Happens expand its reach and share more information about the people who see the campaign ads, Stafford said.

Life Happens has posted an awareness month marketing tactics video, and the new collection of marketing resources, here. The marketing materials are behind a paywall.

Life insurers formed the organization now known as Life Happens, as the Life Insurance Foundation for Education, in 1994. The group held its first Life Insurance Awareness Month campaign in 2004.

Beyond Life Insurance Awareness Month

Stafford said during the video about the Google relationship that Life Happens plans to celebrate its 25th anniversary in October, organize a Long-Term Care Insurance Awareness campaign in November, and bring back the Insure Your Love campaign in February.
