Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
When I think about AI and generative AI in particular, and how it pertains to marketing, I think about it in four buckets. Creative development. There's impact on media buying, of course, there's your standard operational efficiency and then it's going to have an impact on consumer behavior and consumer trends.

Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Today on the Speed of Culture podcast, we are thrilled to welcome Jenna LaBelle, the Chief Marketing Officer of US Retail Markets at Liberty Mutual Insurance. Jenna's career spans over a decade of innovative marketing leadership where she has successfully shaped Liberty Mutual's brand strategy driven by driven cultural relevance through humor, creativity and pioneered partnerships that align with the company values. Jenna, so great to see you today.
- [02:32]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Great to see you. Thanks for having me, Matt.
- [02:34]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Absolutely. So we've all heard Liberty's TV spots. You have to be under a rock to not have heard the Liberty, Liberty, Liberty tagline that comes on but for those in the audience who don't know what Liberty Mutual does, would you mind just giving us an overview of the company?
- [02:47]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Yeah, of course. So Liberty Mutual, Fortune 100 over 100 year personal lines insurance company, and I lead marketing for the US side of the business on personal lines.
- [02:58]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Awesome. And obviously insurance for the most part is seen as kind of a low engagement category. People don't often brag about what insurance company they have. So how have you found the ability for Liberty Mutual to do such a good job at continuing to contemporize the brand and ultimately make people care and even talk about the brand?
- [03:16]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
As a marketer, I think insurance is one of the most unique categories out there. We do not have a tangible product. We are a need based product. You're required to have it by law. So no one wants insurance to your point. They're required to have it and it's something you pay for and you hope you never have to use it. And so in this category that is low touch, I would say it's low interest to some extent. When we think of the insurance shopping and purchase behavior, consumers are shopping the brands that are top of mind. And so everyone in the category is fighting for that top of mind awareness. And, and so we as an insurance company, because we don't have that tangible product, we've relied on brand cues to sort of stand as the physical manifestation of our brand. We introduced our jingle, as you mentioned, in 2018. We introduced our spokes character duo Limu, Imu and Doug in 2019. And that really just unlocked our ability to connect with consumers in a different way to make our brand, I would say, more approachable, more relatable, more relevant and given us an opportunity to insert ourselves into conversations that we probably never had a place being in previously.
- [04:26]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
So it's so true that almost every insurance company has been successful, has an ad campaign that you could point to that's attached to it. There's many great successful products and other categories that you probably can't easily point to an ad campaign too. And I think it's obviously some of the points you mentioned and the clear need for differentiation and to stand out and to be in a consideration at those key moments. So given all that, it's incredibly important that you do land on the right advertising campaign. How did you know that the current jingle, for example, you had was right to the extent that you can lean into it and have that frequency over and over again?
- [04:59]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
A lot of people don't know this, but we're a very data driven company, as an insurance company and as a marketing department, we rely heavily on analytics and testing. And so because we are trying to be top of mind with consumers, we want to make sure that we're breaking through and that people are taking away the Liberty brand. And so we actually test all of our ad campaigns, our individual advertising, as well as our jingle in front of consumers. And we're really getting at. For the jingle in particular, we're getting at, is it keeping Liberty Mutual top of mind? Can you play it back? So is it immediately sinking in? Is it becoming that earworm that you repeat back? And then of course, we're getting additional feedback in that testing environment as well to just make sure that it can stand the test of time. And it really has. I think jingle is so interesting because of all of the advertising tactics and tropes, I think it's the one that has been the most effective brand queue. It stood the test of time. You can probably think back to jingles you heard in the 80s and the 90s and play them back right on cue. And it's worked for us. An IPSO study found that advertising with audio branding cue sees an 8 1/2 times uplift in branded attention. It's been really effective for us. We launched ours in 2018, as I mentioned, and I think our jingle is currently ranked third according to Veritonic's latest audio logo index. And it's been a really interesting thing to watch it appear in pop culture. And so the late night TV shows is my favorite, where you have Jimmy Fallon or Kimmel or Stephen Colbert singing our jingle. And it's been such an amazing thing to watch, especially because it only launched in 2018 and it's really just stuck.
- [06:39]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
So what does it world look like and where you take a step back and you say, you know what, it's either time to evolve it or change it. What would have to happen?
- [06:46]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
We're talking about it. We've seen other brands do that pretty effectively, even within our category. And so it's something that's always on the table. One of the reasons we would do it is it frees up a little bit of space and breathing room in our advertising. And it's intentional that we have four liberties in it. We're really keeping the very top of mind, but we think it could be as effective if it was just one. We've played with it a little bit in some of our advertising. So we did a partnership with the Minions movie franchise and we had the Minions do the jingle. We've done a TV spot where we had our bad actor guy, the Liberty Biberty guy, play on the jingle. And so we're continuing to look for ways to keep it relevant. So it's on the table.
- [07:27]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Great. So it's interesting that we're talking about jingles in 2025 at the same time when we've been hit with, with this huge AI era that is seeping into everything we do and work. And as much as jingles has been part of the history of advertising moving forward, I doubt 10 years from now we're going to be talking about that. Or maybe we will. Just curious to hear in a world of constant change, how much of what worked in the past will continue and how you at Liberty Mutual are diving into the future of advertising that is indeed AI powered.
- [08:01]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Yeah, it's a great question. I mean, I think a lot of the foundational elements, like the fundamentals are going to remain like the things that worked, the tactics that worked, are going to remain effective for the foreseeable future. I think the how you go about developing them, how you go about optimizing them is going to completely change. And when I think about AI and generative AI in particular, and how it pertains to marketing, I think about it in four buckets. Creative development, there's impact on media buying, of course, there's your standard operational efficiency and then it's going to have an impact on consumer behavior and consumer trends and how they consume content, how they shop for insurance, et cetera. And so if I go back to creative development, we've been leveraging it for the creative development process by generating concepts, producing visual aids, rapid iteration, versioning, sizing of imagery and that's just really accelerated the development process, which has been great. I think there's still a lot more room for us to push and we're not at a place now where we're doing end to end content creation using AI. We will get there and I think that we're going to take signals from consumers. When consumers are ready for it, we will be there. And so right now we're doing a lot of testing and learning in the space. On the media buying side, we've for a while now utilize AI powered platforms both internally and through our external partners and platforms. And these systems have just allowed us to analyze real time data to improve targeting, our bidding strategies, budget allocation, just ensuring that we're getting the most return on our advertising spend. And then probably like every organization, you know, there's operational efficiency component here just helping to streamline our workflows. Automate repetitive tasks, et cetera. And then the last one is just like staying ahead of trends, making sure we're understanding how AI is changing consumer behavior. And so whether that be how consumers research, purchase and shop for insurance, how they think about insurance, like what information they're gathering as they start that process, like we're monitoring that because that may prompt a change in our marketing strategy to address where consumers are.
- [10:11]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
A lot to unpack there. I mean, when you talk about knowing when consumers are ready for AI powered advertising, the question to me is when will AI be so good that consumers won't even know the difference? Because there was one point where back in the Mad Men days, everyone had to draw the graphics and then it became Photoshop and now who knows if there's a human behind it. And it's the same with music where you don't know really what's electronic dance music generated drum beats or regular drum beats. And that's ultimately, and I think ultimately it's about value to the consumer. Right. And your ability to speak to them, especially on a personalized basis.
- [10:45]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Absolutely. Yeah. I think you're spot on. It's like one component is the consumer readiness, like the appetite for it. And then I think it's the quality. Right. Like can we match the same quality that we do today? And I think we're out there yet on both fronts and it'll take some time, but I know we will get there. And so we're sort of preparing for that eventual state.
- [11:05]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Yeah. I think one thing AI unlocks, I would imagine for a company like yours, is you have a lot of data on your customers, you know, if they have a motorcycle or not, what type of insurance they have. And I would imagine personalization or hyper personalization powered by the data you have, combined with AI's ability to iteratively create creative and deliver to consumers on a one to one basis, really does create a lot of potential for your brand moving forward where there could be a world where you can combine the two, where you can have your jingle in a music genre that the recipient loves, Right?
- [11:39]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Absolutely. I think endless opportunities, for sure.
- [11:42]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Yeah. And when it comes to your team, obviously greatness is in the agency of others and you would not be able to build the brand you're building without a great team, both internally and with agencies. How do you find it is for you as a leader to get them to adopt and move forward? Because obviously there's some people out there that are just freaked out about AI, don't want to move forward. You as a CMO of a major brand, have to continue to look forward. How has that experience been for you?
- [12:08]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Yeah, I think with any kind of transformation, and I would put this as a major transformation in our generation. And so with any transformation, I think you have different groups of people, Everybody's in a different place with that change curve. And so I think you have to meet people where they are. I think there's a lot of education that has to happen. There's a lot of learning and developing, like spending time with it, using it. I've also made it a point for me to make sure I'm highlighting all the ways I'm using it, because I think that top down is going to really help accelerate traction. And so that's something that we're doing. But I recognize not everybody is there yet. I know. I've seen that the more people use it, the more they get familiar with it, the more they understand what it can and can't do, what its limitations are, where the opportunities are. I think you start to see adoption really accelerate and then those people kind of become advocates for it. And we've seen that even within the marketing department here is like you have your power users who are just like on their soapbox screaming, like, talking about all the ways they're using it. And that's been really helpful to sort of embed it in the way we work.
- [13:12]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Yeah. One thing I found is that at a lot of large organizations, employees really can't get their hands on keyboard maybe the way that we'd like them to, because you have data, privacy and security, it legal, all these sort of guardrails in place. That while we say we want employees to be able to explore and test things out, the reality is they really can't. And one thing I've been starting to see is while you are kind of tied up in your ability to do so in work, at home, you're unencumbered. And I think you're going to start to see consumers use AI to come up with recipes or manage their schedule or their finances and gain the skill sets at home where they don't have any of the restrictions and then bring that those newfound skills into the workplace.
- [13:57]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
I think you're absolutely right. And like, even the way I use it is like, way different at home than I'm using at work. And I think at home it's been really awesome to just uncover the different ways to use it. I was just the other day looking for a birthday gift and described the person generated some ideas, latched onto One of the ideas, it was sunglasses. I'm not going to say who it's for. And then I uploaded a picture of this person, asked them to show me an image of them wearing these different models, and that's how I made that purchase decision.
- [14:25]

We'll be right back with the Speed of Culture after a few words from our sponsors.

- [16:01]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
So speaking of like moving ahead and looking forward, obviously you have a new audience that you're targeting, which is Gen Z, which is the iPhone generation. A lot of people still look at Gen Z as young kids, but this year actually in the US for the first time, the average first time mom is Gen Z. So they're becoming the heads of the household. And they are not people that have grown up watching tv. They grew up watching their phones. And when they're watching their phones, they're looking at content not really from traditional media, but from creators. It's a whole different world. So when you look at, I guess continuing to evolve your go to market strategy for Gen Z, what does that look like?
- [16:35]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Yeah, I love this question. You're spot on. Like the way we reached people historically is not going to be the way we reach people. And we built our Brand is going to be different too. And mobile has fundamentally changed how people consume media. I think the stat is like people are on their mobile devices an average of like 3 hours and 50 minutes a day. And then my other favorite fact is that the average person now scrolls through 300ft of content a day.
- [17:02]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
300Ft, interesting.
- [17:04]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
How wild is that? Right?
- [17:05]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
I'm the king of stats like that and I've never heard that one. I'm have to steal that one.
- [17:08]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
300Ft. So in this environment where you have fleeting attention spans and everybody's scrolling through, you have to work harder to capture and keep attention. And so we've been obviously increasing spend, shifting spend to where consumers are spending time. But we don't want to just be on Those platforms like TikTok or Instagram or Pinterest. We want to make sure that we're designing ads and experiences for those platforms. And so, for example, on social media platforms where there's that heavy scrolling behavior, people are scrolling through content very quickly, spending less than a second on it. So we need to make sure we're heavily branded in the first couple of seconds, but also not too branded, but they scroll even faster, like making it somehow break through in that environment. Or on TikTok, where we know the highest performing ads are those that look like user generated content. Right. They're not polished, they're a little bit low fidelity. So instead of us using the production of a TV shoot to shoot some of that, we're having Doug film on his iPhone, him participating in some of those TikTok trends just to make sure that it feels very native to the platform.
- [18:14]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
And I would imagine partnerships with creators themselves is a huge part of this moving forward, just because of their audience and their ability to really sway opinion and consideration in ways that are different but equally as powerful as a jingle could.
- [18:27]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Absolutely, yeah. We've explored partnerships with content creators and influencers. One of my favorite ones is we worked with a TikTok influencer, Jo Steele, who's a makeup artist. This was around the Halloween time frame and Jo basically transformed Doug into Limu. And it's pretty remarkable. The transformation is unreal. She's very, very talented. But yeah, we're continuing to look for ways to do that.
- [18:50]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Cool. The other areas are going to get to which is kind of part of the AI section, but it's really more about product, is how do you see the future of your product experience changing driven by some of these technologies? Because I would think areas like underwriting could be accelerated dramatically through the power of AI just delivering a better customer experience, which makes your job ultimately a lot easier.
- [19:12]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
I think the more data, the more information that we get and the easier it is to turn that into better experiences for our customers. We will absolutely do and are starting to do. I think it is going to have a huge impact on every business, frankly, but certainly on ours. And, and I think the way that people purchase anything in the future, whether that is cpg, insurance, travel, is going to fundamentally change. And so we're making sure that we're in a place to embrace that change when it happens and be there and creating experiences that are personalized that are better than today's experiences.
- [19:47]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Absolutely. So I want to shift gears a little bit and just talk about you and your career because obviously you've been at Liberty Mutual and I know that you worked with my friends Dave and Carrie Kirpin at Likable.
- [19:58]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
I knew the name when I saw it and I knew Mr. Youth very, very well.
- [20:01]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Yeah. So we cross paths and obviously so what I want to hear about and obviously you've been several other places. Right. Your career. But that was notable to me just based on my background. But what is the difference from being part of a scrappy startup where you're trying to be heard and you're coming in every day and now where you are right now sitting as a CMO of a Fortune 50 company, as you said, like how does that change the way that you look at work every single day? And what are some skill sets that used to lean to more that you don't as much now and vice versa?
- [20:32]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Yeah, it's funny, I always knew I wanted to be CMO. I wanted to hit it before 30. I didn't quite make it, but I always knew I started in tech, startup, agency startup. I knew I always wanted to get on the brand side because I wanted to be closer to decision making. I wanted to make a greater impact. And what I loved about my experiences at startups and on the agency side is just that entrepreneurial spirit, the ability to come and build something, not have a blueprint. You don't get handed the playbook on day one and you just execute. And so the opportunity at Liberty has been amazing and completely delivered on that been able to really make an impact across social media, digital marketing, a lot of the brand strategy and advertising before obviously taking the role as cmo. And I think now where I am like I definitely review creative marketing, think about things from a lot of it much different lens. We are a very data driven company. I think I bring to the table, both the data and analytics. But creativity. I think creativity is very important, especially in this fast paced, constantly changing marketplace. Like challenges are often complex and multifaceted. And I think that requires more than traditional approaches to problem solving. So I'm a big fan of creative problem solving. I think listening is the most important thing you can do, Whether that's listening to your team, to your customers, to your partners, like, to consumers, as much as we can listen, gather those insights, and I think it allows us to be better marketers in general. And so those are two things right off the top of my head that I rely on those every single day. Creative problem solving and just the power of insights.
- [22:10]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Absolutely. And obviously a lot of people want to get to the CMO seat one day, regardless of age, but many people don't, especially not at the level that you're at right now at Liberty Mutual. When you look back on your career journey, what were some of the decisions that you think you made along the way that set yourself up for where you are right now, whether it's relationships or areas of learning that you lean into?
- [22:32]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Yeah, I mean, I think to be cmo you have to be a leader. That is table stakes. And when I think of what makes a good CMO is being able to take those leadership skills and the marketing fundamentals and being able to speak the language of the business. And so making the connections between the value that marketing is driving and how that impacts the business, I think it's important that you really understand deeply the business you're operating in. What are the KPIs and the priorities of the business? Use consistent language, make sure that goals are laddered up to business objectives. So when I came into this role, even before I came into this role, I've been on a learning journey. Like insurance is a very complicated category and so really trying to deeply understand it, because I think that allows, and not just in insurance, in any category. I think if you really understand your business, it allows you to be a much better marketer. And then I think I focused a lot of my time, my team's time, on being the voice of the customer. Like there's no one else in the organization who can bring that voice into the organization. And so that's something that has helped me tremendously. I think it's benefited everybody. I think it makes our work better if we're bringing those rich insights and leaning into what the customer says and wants.
- [23:46]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
I mean, I think the world is changing so fast right now. And I run a market research company and I Think one misperception that's out there right now is you don't need to talk to the consumer anymore. You can just ask AI. But the reality is actually AI is changing society and culture so fast, then now you need to speak to the customer more than ever because their life is going to look nothing in six months like it does today. And you can make some assumptions based upon that and completely miss in terms of the product you're building or the brand that you're trying to storytell around.
- [24:17]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Yes, I a hundred percent agree with that. I think it'll be important more now than ever. To your point, just things are moving so quickly. People are experiencing things in different, in unique ways. And I think having that pulse on that customer is going to be critical moving forward.
- [24:31]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
Absolutely. So, Jenna, one more question as we wrap up here is we have a lot of younger listeners here at the podcast and for those coming to the workforce for the first time, obviously there's so much anxiety also, I would argue a lot of opportunity, but it's certainly a world of unknowns. What are some of the skill sets that you think will stand the test of time for the new class of 2025 entering the workforce that they should really prioritize?
- [24:56]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
I'll touch on a couple skills and then I'll give, like, three things that I think would be sort of advice. The skills that I think will stand the test of time, creativity, 100%. That analytical thinking is going to be extremely important. Communication. And what I mean by that is like, yes, I can put into GPT to write me an email, but I need to make sure that the intention of that email is matching what that output is. And so crafting that to the right audience, making sure you're hitting on the right points and getting that message across with clarity, I think is going to be very important. Relationships, I think, are gonna continue to be very important. The way we maintain and develop and foster those relationships might change, but I think that will still be critical. So probably those four things and then advice. I would say three things. One is master the art of listening, like I said, to customers, to your team, to the market. It's rich with insights. So master that art of listening. Say yes to opportunities that scare you. I think that's where growth lies. I think growth hides in the places that we think are scary. And so just say yes to that opportunity. And then kind of similar. Just don't be afraid to take smart risks. I think if you live in fear, you'll never do the things that make you stand out from the myriad of other awesome people who would want that role.
- [26:14]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
All great advice. And I think despite the fact that it could seem overwhelming, I think a lot of the things that you just mentioned are things that have been consistent since we started the podcast two years ago and think about how much change that's happened. So I think it's easy to get overwhelmed by all this change. But if you go back to kind of first principles on what makes somebody successful professional leader, a lot of those core tenants remain.
- [26:35]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Yeah.
- [26:35]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
So we often ask our guests at the podcast if there's a mantra or saying that has guided the professional journey. And to wrap up here wondering what might come to mind for you.
- [26:45]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
Yeah, I actually have it on my wall, so you can't see it because behind the camera, but it's there. I promise it is. Go the extra mile. It's never crowded.
- [26:54]
Matt Britton (Host of Speed of Culture Podcast)
So true. Like, I do a lot of hiking at national parks and it always is the same thing where you'll have 99% of people stop at the gift shop and go behind the gift shop and just take a selfie. And then 0.9% might go to the paved area and walk around the lake, but then 0.1% will go deep into the woods and capture the real beauty of it. And that's where the extra mile lives. And to your point, not a lot of people do it, and in both nature and in business and in life. And I think if you can do that, you're going to be able to.
- [27:22]
Jenna LaBelle (CMO of Liberty Mutual US Retail Markets)
