Consistency Counts Campaign
Northwestern Mutual has remained consistently strong for over 150 years – even through the recent economic turmoil. They have demonstrated strength and consistency by maintaining the best possible insurance financial strength ratings from the nation's four major rating agencies for over 17 years, paying more life insurance dividends than any company in the industry for the past 12 years, and being the only company to lead its industry in FORTUNE® magazine’s “America's Most Admired Companies®” survey for 25 years.
Northwestern Mutual recently launched three television ads that use baseball and golf analogies to demonstrate how the discipline and work ethic embodied in sports excellence applies equally to enduring financial performance. In addition, an interactive golf scorecard flash application has been created to help compare their strength and consistency to competitors.
