The Main Street America Group, a leading U.S. provider of property-casualty insurance through independent agents, and an operating company of American Family Insurance group, has unveiled its new name and brand – Main Street America Insurance. The brand refresh was announced in conjunction with product expansion in the company’s commercial insurance markets.

Vibrant new color palette and design elements
“Main Street America Insurance is a clear statement of who we are and what we do and aligns with our mission and vision to be a national multi-line brand in the independent agency channel by the end of 2024,” said Chris Listau, president and CEO.
The company’s refreshed look incorporates the iconic handshake symbol that represents partnership, trust and relationships formed in “Main Street” communities across America. It also signifies that Main Street America Insurance is a brand built on the strength of a rich history, marketplace stability and the company’s focus on delivering products through independent agents.
“We are excited about our fresh new look which coincides with offering new products in our commercial lines states through streamlined, intuitive digital platforms that make doing business with Main Street America efficient and easy for both our agent-customers and policyholders,” said Listau. “While our name is changing, our mission remains the same: ‘to take care of our customers better than anyone else’,” he added.
