Brett Weinberg, senior VP of PR for LPL Financial, has moved to Allianz Life as director of external communications for the Minneapolis-based insurer.
The move is a return to Allianz, where he was a comms. staffer in the early 2000s. He spent the last year and a half with Charlotte, N.C.-based LPL and earlier directed PR for Thrivent Financial and GMAC ResCap.
Weinberg started out on the agency side with Spong.
At Allianz, part of the German insurance giant Allianz SE, he reports to VP of corporate communications, Paul Kelash.
Senior-most communications executives in the Fortune 500 earned between $50,000 and $100,000 more this year than they did two years ago, according to a recent survey of chief communications officers.
The pressure is on PR pros to make sure corporate messaging remains clear and cohesive. Business jargon is an obstacle to achieving this goal.
In today's volatile world of constant disruption, the ability to offer reliability and dependability is more valuable than ever.
