Marble
Company overview:
Insurance companies spend billions on marketing to find new customers, and often those costs come back to consumers in the form of higher premiums. We’re changing that. At Marble, we put our members at the center of the insurance process so they can effortlessly protect the things they care about, all while earning the value they deserve. We’re laser-focused on saving insurance customers money by building a rewards-based membership program.
For insurance companies, Marble is the most innovative marketing and engagement tactic since email. Using our proprietary software and structure, we partner with insurance carriers, brokers, and agents to engage their customers like never before.
It’s not often that you get to say this when talking about insurance, but with Marble, everybody truly does win.
