Executive Summary

Sexton Insurance Agency LLC represents an important strategic step: building a stand-alone insurance brand that is independent, durable, and future-proof, while still honoring the contractual boundaries of your GEICO affiliation.

Our goal is to help you establish a credible, search-friendly, locally trusted insurance brand that:

  • Stands on its own if circumstances ever change

  • Generates inbound inquiries you fully own

  • Feels polished, human, and community-rooted

  • Can scale into TV, paid media, and long-term growth

This proposal outlines a phased approach to launching your independent website, digital presence, and lead-generation foundation in 2026.

Brand & Compliance Considerations (Built-In)

We will design and market Sexton Insurance Agency LLC with the following guardrails fully respected:

  • Primary branding focused on Sexton Insurance Agency LLC

  • No direct GEICO co-branding beyond:

    • Approved office phone number

    • Small gecko logo used subtly and compliantly

  • Independent email, domain, and Google presence

  • Platform flexibility for future TV, digital, and local media

This ensures your website and marketing remain yours, regardless of future corporate or contractual changes.
