Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company has ended its nearly seven-year relationship with McKinney as its creative agency of record. Nationwide thanked McKinney for its work on campaigns like "Join the Nation" but said it was moving in a new direction. McKinney expressed disappointment but acknowledged relationships sometimes change. Nationwide will now evaluate its options for evolving its brand messaging.

1. NEW BUSINESS
PITCH BRIEF

2. Nationwide has dropped McKinney as its creative agency of record after a nearly seven-year
relationship that included a wide variety of campaigns since 2009, not including the infamous 2015
“Make Safe Happen” Super Bowl spot (the one with the cute kid saying “I couldn’t grow up because I
died in an accident” - simultaneously depressing 114.4 million viewers).
THE BACK-AND-FORTH
A Nationwide company spokesperson told to AdAge:
“Nationwide works with a number of creative agencies to support our business needs. We recently
informed McKinney of our intent to move in another direction regarding our creative work. We
wanted to give the agency as much notice as possible so it could plan accordingly. McKinney has been a
valued partner for nearly seven years, playing a critical role in the successful development of the ‘Join
the Nation’ campaign that launched in 2012. Our brand is healthier because of McKinney’s efforts. As
Nationwide’s business needs change, we’re evaluating all of our options to help us evolve our brand.”

3. OVERVIEW 02
OVERVIEW
While McKinney Chairman and CEO, Brad Brinegar, commented:
“We are proud of the work we created, the successes we achieved together and the friendships we
formed over seven years of committed partnership with so many good people at Nationwide. We are
obviously disappointed with their decision. This was a long relationship, given that the average
tenure of an account in the U.S. is just over three years. This does not reflect poor performance by
McKinney. What it does reflect is a shift in strategic focus and client leadership.”
The client did not specify whether it will launch a full review; Nationwide works with various
agencies and returned to Ogilvy in 2014, 50 years after that agency wrote the “Nationwide is on
your side” tagline, to produce the “Make Safe Happen” campaign which (allegedly) facilitated the
departure of Nationwide CMO Matt Jauchius. It doesn’t look like the scathing reviews of that
campaign led to a change in the client’s relationship with Ogilvy & Mather.

5. The Columbus based company is highly engaged in sports marketing activities. In 2014, it became a
sponsor of the National Football League, which includes relationships with individual players, teams,
media and the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award. The strong tie with the NFL includes
team-specific partnerships with Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati
Bengals, Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears and Oakland Riders. Moreover, Denver
Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning became the company’s spokesman, participating in various spots.
But the attention to sports marketing extends also to other sports. Some of them involve NASCAR
Racing, partnering with Dale Jr.; Golf, with the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship and The
Memorial Tournament; and Running, sponsoring the Columbus Marathon.
Terrance Williams, Nationwide’s CMO, has said very confident about the current strategy:
“Generally, our competitors outspend us on advertising, so we are very efficient with our resources,”
Williams wrote. “Our goal is to maximize our advertising budget by using data and analytics to help us
get the right message in front of the right audience at the right time to build our brand.”
