DMS Connects 6 Million Consumers To Auto Insurance Providers

Leveraging Its Proprietary Insurance Agent Platform, ZipQuote, DMS Is Strongly Positioned To Respond To The Auto Industry’s Digital Transformation

Clearwater, FL – November 19, 2020 — Digital Media Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: DMS) announced during its Q3 earnings call that, as of July, 6 million consumers have successfully been connected with auto insurance providers through the DMS insurance agent platform, ZipQuote.

This latest auto insurance milestone arrives as the company continues to experience robust sequential growth, with particularly strong momentum surrounding auto insurance, health insurance and ecommerce, as the pandemic proves to be an accelerator for transition to digital advertising and the DMS business. Several of the verticals for which DMS provides solutions - including insurance, home services and consumer finance - have hastened their transitions from traditional advertising to digital advertising. Auto insurance, in particular, is projected to invest 72% of its advertising budget in digital channels by 2024.

“DMS is strongly positioned to win as advertisers invest more in digital media channels,” said DMS CEO Joe Marinucci. “For example, ZipQuote, our self-service insurance agent platform, is helping thousands of insurance agents de-risk their advertising spend as they transition to digital media to connect with their target audiences who are increasingly online.”

ZipQuote helps insurance agents convert digital prospecting efforts into written policies with consistent and reliable digital performance advertising. Deploying proprietary consumer-behavior modeling, predictive analytics and advertising technology, ZipQuote engages consumers at the peak of their insurance buying intent.

An established leader in the insurance space, DMS Insurance supports the digital performance advertising needs of the largest auto, home, health and life insurance providers. From enterprise-level services, including advertising and salesforce management, to agent-based support offered through ZipQuote, DMS Insurance helps the insurance industry scale customer acquisition efforts and write more policies while providing unprecedented process and performance transparency.
