CINCINNATI--()--Great American Insurance Group received approximately 350 submissions during a six-month campaign that invited its annuity customers to submit photos and videos of what makes their lives great.

The entries showcased memorable moments ranging from adventurous waterfall climbs to relaxing moments on the beach. Of the 350 submissions, 40 finalists were entered into a social media public vote to win a grand prize trip for two or cash equivalent.

The grand prize winner was Nina from Michigan, who submitted a heartfelt photo and story about her late father. The photo shows him standing proudly in front of his upholstery shop when he won an award for Best Employer on the Eastside of Detroit. Nina is planning to use the prize money to honor her father’s legacy by establishing a scholarship at his alma mater.

According to Donna Carrelli, Vice President of Annuity Marketing Services, this year’s campaign was particularly rewarding.

“This was the third year for our Live Your Life Great campaign. Each year, it provides a unique opportunity to connect with our customers and get a small glimpse of what makes their lives great.” Carrelli added, “This year, as we’re all dealing with the pandemic, the photos and videos were such a bright spot in our days, and customers enjoyed reminiscing about good times. Additionally, the stories about Nina’s father that poured in through social media were truly inspiring. He clearly made a difference in many lives.”

Carrelli continued, “Some of the finalists shared their stories about how an annuity has provided peace of mind during these uncertain times. We’re grateful for the trust they put in Great American and will keep our commitment to help simplify their path to a financially secure future.”

The campaign launched less than a year after the company released a five-part video series that explores the makings of a great retirement.
