SAN DIEGO, Calif., June 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - By leveraging ZipQuote.com's Internet domain strength and consumer-matching technology, Underground Elephant will further expand its robust portfolio of proprietary lead generation assets.
Agents, carriers, and the insurance industry as a whole are positioned to benefit from this strategic expansion, as Underground Elephant continues to meet growing demand for its products by further increasing its capacity to deliver high-intent leads with exceptionally low conversion costs.
"The acquisition of ZipQuote.com is an invaluable addition to Underground Elephant's ever-accelerating momentum as the insurance industry's preferred independent lead generator." remarks Jason Kulpa, CEO of Underground Elephant. "While big lead aggregators defend the status quo and actively block progress in the insurance industry, Underground Elephant and ZipQuote can and will continually innovate on behalf of agents, providing the insurance industry with high-intent prospects as efficiently as possible. It's the right thing to do."
Bob Bernstein, CEO of ZipQuote.com added, "Underground Elephant was ultimately the best partner to drive the vision of making ZipQuote a household brand through quality traffic acquisition."
In order to further streamline the user experience of its thousands of agents, Underground Elephant will transition the insurance-specific portion of its business to the new ZipQuote brand, which remains "Powered by Underground Elephant" in terms of both technology and leadership.
Both brands remain independent, meaning ZipQuote will deliver the same high-quality leads, personalized services, and trusted expertise expected by Underground Elephant customers.
Underground Elephant purchased ZipQuote.com and related entities for an undisclosed sum. This marks Underground Elephant's first acquisition of 2015 and occurs in step with its own internal expansion, as it continues to create jobs, form new partnerships, and advance its position as a technology leader in Southern California.
