Look out! Foremost rides into Sturgis for the famous motorcycle rally.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., Aug. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Foremost Insurance Group social media team will ride again into Sturgis, South Dakota for the 73rd annual Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally August 2-11, 2013. The award-winning Foremost® social media campaign, 'Bill and Jack's Adventures,' focuses on the famous motorcycle rally and strives to bring a real behind-the-scenes look at the exciting event to fans, consumers, employees and independent agents.

"This event campaign is very unique in our industry. We don't have a booth. We're on-the-ground, as bikers, with the bikers and also interacting in the social space with our agents and employees," said Jeff Bair, head of independent agent merchandising and business development. "We focus on these events, not only for our employees and consumers to become engaged, but for our agents as well. This type of campaign allows us to become involved with the products that we insure and offer our agents first-hand accounts and product information to share with their customers on their social sites."

'Bill and Jack's Adventures,' follows two experienced riders, who happen to be employees, through the streets of the bike rally. During the 10-day event, Foremost's social media channels will be inundated with bikers, motorcycles, surrounding events and on-the-street action.

Bair says that events like this rally are a great opportunity to highlight the products that Foremost specializes in and encourage consumers to contact their local Foremost agent. Throughout the year, Foremost also supports race teams like the Pegram Superbike racing team, KTM Supercross, Motocross and Endurocross teams, off-road vehicle dealer shows and numerous safety and training events.
