CHICAGO, Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Highdive Advertising, the independently-owned, full-service creative agency based in Chicago, and The General, the licensed insurance company based in Nashville, announce their partnership today. Highdive will serve as Creative Agency of Record for The General.

"We were looking for a partner with experience in repositioning brands, a strong creative track record and a commitment to diversity," says The General's Chief Revenue Officer, Elicia Azali. "We want our brand to better reflect who we are as a company and the customers we serve. We are thrilled to partner with Highdive to achieve that goal."

The General and Highdive are eager to continue this momentum into the New Year, with innovative and bold creative set to debut in early 2021.
