The pillars on this list are designed to:

  • Strengthen trust and retention
  • Highlight agent expertise
  • Support compliance
  • Give HQ content that scales across dozens or hundreds of agents
  • Preserve authentic, local voices

What's on the list

  • Content pillars for authenticity and relationships
  • Content pillars for timing and relevance
  • Content pillars for central control and scalability

Content pillars for expert advice and education

These pillars position every agent as a reliable, expert advisor, moving beyond basic sales pitches.

1. Accessible education (explainers made simple)

Break down complex insurance topics into easily understood, human language. Use simple analogies and clear visuals.

  • "Deductible vs premium – what’s the difference?"

  • "3 things your home insurance actually covers."

  • Short TikToks/Reels explaining jargon-free concepts.

2. Financial wellness and risk education

Position agents as financial guides who help clients achieve long-term stability. This is high-trust, non-salesy content.

  • Risk management tips for young families.

  • "Why building an emergency fund matters."

  • Short videos explaining how insurance supports long-term stability.

3. Myth-busting and misconceptions

Use common misunderstandings to drive high engagement. Correcting myths builds authority and provides immediate value.

  • "MYTH: Insurance companies avoid paying claims. FACT: …"

  • "No, filing a claim doesn’t always increase your premium."

  • "Renters insurance is not just for renters."

4. Product spotlight (educational, not pushy)

Inform clients about policies without sounding like a hard sell. Focus on the protection and benefits, not the price.

  • "What umbrella insurance actually protects you from."

  • "3 surprising benefits of life insurance you didn’t know."

  • Infographics on auto, home, business, or travel policies.

5. Claims process guidance

Build confidence by providing clarity on a stressful process. Transparency reduces anxiety for clients.

  • Step-by-step graphic: "How to file a claim."

  • Real-world example: "How we helped a family safely navigate a car accident claim."

  • What documents to prepare before calling an agent.

Content pillars for authenticity and relationships

Social media thrives on relationships. Use these pillars to show the human side of your multi-agent network.

6. Humanising agent stories

Build trust by making agents relatable. People buy from people they trust.

  • Day-in-the-life Reels.

  • "Meet your local agent" introductions.

  • Why the agent chose this career.

7. Client appreciation and testimonials

Use social proof to build credibility and reinforce customer satisfaction.

  • Customer thank-you posts.

  • Screenshot of a 5-star Google review.

  • Short video testimonial about a positive claims experience.

8. User-generated content (ugc) and customer wins

Encourage clients to share their positive experiences. Sharing UGC builds genuine trust.

  • Customer posts about receiving support during a claim.

  • "Share a photo of your new home — we’ll celebrate with you!"

  • Local businesses tagging agents after helpful consultations.

9. Agent Q&A / AMA sessions

Drive engagement and humanise the complex process of getting insurance.

  • "Ask me anything about home insurance this week!"

  • FAQs answered via Reels.

  • Quick-fire "five questions in 30 seconds" videos.

10. Community involvement and local goodwill

Show that agents care about the neighbourhoods they serve. This is vital for local marketing success.

  • Sponsoring local sports teams.

  • Volunteering recaps.

  • Charity events and local partnerships.

Content pillars for timing and relevance

These posts leverage real-world timing and events to ensure maximum relevance and high visibility.

11. Life milestone guidance

People typically review or buy new insurance during big life moments. Be the helpful guide during these times.

  • "Just bought a home? Here’s the first insurance step."

  • "New baby on the way? Update this policy ASAP."

  • "Getting married? Review these 3 coverage items."

12. Seasonal safety and preparedness tips

Highly practical and shareable content focused on helping, not selling.

  • Winter storm safety checklist.

  • "What to do if a tree damages your property."

  • Back-to-school driving safety tips.

13. Reactive and trend-based content

Be timely and relatable. Agents should be empowered to participate in current social conversations.

  • Agents join a trending audio with an insurance twist.

  • "What this trend teaches us about financial preparedness."

  • Rapid responses to seasonal risks (storms, holidays, travel).

14. Local market and weather alerts

Empower local agents to act as trusted, immediate sources of information in their community.

  • "Storm warning this weekend — here’s how to prepare."

  • "Wildfire season is coming. Review these home safety steps."

  • "Local traffic changes affecting teen driver safety."

Content pillars for central control and scalability

These pillars are perfect for central marketing teams (HQ) to create and distribute. They ensure brand consistency and support compliance across all agents.

15. Multi-location consistency series

HQ creates the core template; agents add a local touch (like a photo or a local greeting).

  • Monthly pre-approved educational series.

  • "Insurance Tip Tuesday" across all agents with localisation space.

  • Shared GIFs, templates, and seasonal campaigns.

16. Proactive retention and loyalty content

This content focuses purely on strengthening relationships with existing clients.

  • Birthday/anniversary greetings.

  • "Thank you for trusting us with your coverage this year."

  • Value-add resources (downloadable home inventory checklist).

17. Policy review reminders (non-salesy)

Help clients avoid risk or unexpected policy issues. This increases loyalty and retention.

  • "It’s your yearly check-in!" reminder graphic.

  • "When was the last time you reviewed your home inventory?"

  • "Life changes? Your policies might need to as well."

18. Compliance and brand trust content

Transparent messaging builds confidence in the entire network. Show why your oversight matters.

  • "What compliance means for your protection."

  • "Why we review every post before publishing."

  • Clear, simple graphics on regulatory updates.

19. Behind-the-scenes at hq

Showcase the professionalism and process behind your brand's operations.

  • How compliance works at your organisation.

  • Spotlight on marketing or claims teams.

  • "How we ensure accuracy and oversight for every agent."

20. Employee culture and values

Highlighting internal culture reinforces your brand's integrity and value proposition.

  • "Our mission: protecting families with integrity."

  • Award celebrations for top-performing agents.

  • Internal training peek: "How we invest in agent success."

Next steps for multi-agent consistency

Creating great content is only half the battle.

For multi-location insurance networks, the key is managing these 20 pillars across hundreds of agents while maintaining compliance.

The solution is a centralised social media management platform that allows HQ to distribute compliant content (Pillars 15–20) while enabling agents to post authentic local content (Pillars 6, 7, 10, 12, 13) through a mandatory approval workflow.
