Symetra Financial

Purchased from Safeco in 2004 by an investor group led by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd., PBDH was given nine weeks to develop the brand strategy, name, identity, advertising and collateral system for the new company — later to be named Symetra Financial. Recently, Symetra Financial asked PBDH to develop its 2005 annual report that conveyed the company’s incredible success due to nimbleness and dedication to its partners.
