UTR Unitrin, Inc.

Digital marketing agency Geary Interactive ("Geary") announced several industry awards including an ADDY for the website redesign of iMingle.com.

The website redesign established a digital presence for iMingle™ Insurance, a new marketing approach that provides auto, home, condo and renters insurance services for tech-savvy, young professionals. Geary helped iMingle create a modern website that appealed to its key demographic through large, intuitive iconography and navigation.

"iMingle.com displays what strong branding and strategic targeting can achieve," said Andreas Roell Geary Group Chairman. "iMingle knows how to cater services to what they call the 'I Generation,' and this site proves people respond to marketing that relates to their affinities and needs."

"To do something that is entirely new in the insurance business, we knew we needed an entirely new website," said Michael Z. Stahl, vice president of product and strategy for iMingle. "Geary rose to the challenge, helping us create an attractive and easy-to-use interface for a generation of people that expect nothing less. iMingle.com not only guides users through the process of buying insurance, but it also explains in detail how customers can take advantage of discounts up to 50% or more."

Geary has also earned the following placements on industry guides and business listings:

• Top B2B Agency, BtoB Magazine
• Top Interactive Agency, BtoB Magazine
• Top Search Vendor, BtoB Magazine
• Top Web Development Company, San Diego Business Journal

About iMingle Insurance:

iMingle is the first direct-to-consumer insurance provider to offer group buying for auto insurance, aimed at what the company calls the i Generation -- those consumers who routinely turn to their social networks to find information, compare deals and seek recommendations from their peers. Most insurance companies offer discounts for insuring multiple cars within a household, but iMingle takes this concept a step further by allowing consumers to link, or "mingle," their policies with those of their friends so that they can both benefit from the iMingle Network™ Discount of 10 percent. This is on top of iMingle's other policy discounts, which can save customers up to 50 percent or more.

iMingle is part of Unitrin, Inc. (NYSE: UTR), which has over $8 billion in assets and an A- (Excellent) Rating from A.M. Best for insurance operations. More information is available at www.iMingle.com or by calling 800-315-0473.
