If you aren’t using any of the popular social media sites, then you may have missed out on AIP Marketing Alliance’s top fashion models as we’ve been leveraging some new insurance carrier summertime swag a lot in our Troy, Michigan headquarters.

AIPMA, an Integrity Company, appreciates the support our contracted carriers show our team and operations as these Regional Vice Presidents and their staff go above and beyond to help our valued independent wholesalers and agents close life insurance and annuity sales nationwide.

Many of these companies also support our annual events, like our Members in Motion Conference, as well as other AIPMA events throughout the year. You also may have noticed that a few carriers swing by for on-site training sessions, which may involve a lunchtime delight periodically for our employees.

In 2026, some of these carriers even went a bit further with their support by sending us some updated shirts to showcase their brand when talking to agents.

“Sometimes, I just get a marketing idea in my head, and we roll with it… and this time, I would say it worked to benefit our team’s ‘drip’ as they say,” said Darron Markwood, Vice President of Marketing and Compliance Officer. “Our team was talking about they would like some newer clothing to represent our carriers, and we decided one way to request some potential new swag was by doing a video – an AIPMA Fashion Show.”

AIPMA’s team wore some of their carrier wearables (or held a sign saying how they needed gear) and walked the AIPMA red carpet runway. You can view them showing off their red carpet moves here. Let’s just say the response was more than we thought as shirts continue to flow into our office even midway through 2026!

“Truthfully, we didn’t know how our carriers would react to this request as we didn’t want to come off the wrong way, but I thought, let’s have some fun, show our team’s creativity, and see what happens,” Markwood said. “We’re very thankful to those who have participated as we’ve showcased their gear and brand on all our social media channels!”

Check out some of the fashion show videos below to see the AIP Marketing Alliance team representing these carriers. We also are debuting our newest video as we finished up our Foresters Financial Fashion Show this month.

For the Foresters Financial video, AIPMA wanted to show how they’ve contributed to many local and national charities with their efforts. Check out some of the items they’ve donated and some of the causes they have supported! You can check out the latest video by clicking below.

If you missed the other fashion show events, you can see us showing off their gear in the videos below.

Whether it’s walking the runway, creating a bridge to walk through, or even dancing a conga line, the AIP Marketing Alliance team appreciates returning the favor by showing our fashion show carriers some thanks through creativity on our social platforms. Please feel free to check out these insurance carriers as AIPMA’s team can get independent agents contracted to sell their life insurance and annuity products easily and efficiently.

We’re also open to gear donations as you can contact Darron Markwood at darronm@aipma.com to learn more. Looking to upgrade from your current wholesaler or nationwide distributor?
