 Any company can tell you what’s wrong with
today’s investment market.

Plan B. But only Insight offers you Loss Limiter.

Insight’s Accelerated Investment Plan.

After years of poor market returns, your clients need a plan that works if there’s a recovery and
works if there isn’t. Insight Investment’s new Accelerated Investment Plan. Over its six-year term, it
multiplies any FTSE 100 recovery by five (up to a maximum return of 70%) with full capital repayment
unless the FTSE 100 falls by half. And if recovery’s even quicker than expected, the investment gains
will be cashed in early. So whatever path the markets take, at least you now have a plan.
Call us on 0845 600 1787 for an information pack, or visit www.insightinvestment.com
No-one can stop markets from falling. But unlike other companies, Insight helps lessen the pain
if they do. If your investment drops below a set level, our unique Loss Limiter is automatically
triggered – and your money transferred to a lower risk fund. Which means that even in today’s
markets, Insight investments have some peace of mind built in from the start.
For more information please contact your financial adviser. Alternatively, call Insight on
0845 777 2233 quoting TBB or visit www.insightinvestment.com.

The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount invested. Full details of the
nature of Insight's Accelerated Investment Plan, the risks associated with it and the commitment required are described in theKey Features
Document. Issued by Insight Investment Funds Management Limited. Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Services Authority.Calls may
be recorded. This advert is aimed at Investment Professionals and should not be used or relied upon by private investors.
Loss Limiter is only available in certain circumstances - please see our Key Features document for further details. If Loss Limiter is triggered, your investment is still at risk.

Two print ads from a huge multimedia campaign launching and branding this stockbroking
arm of a leading UK bank. The launch coincided with the last stock market bust; much of
415-695-7704
our messaging addressed this directly.
 iShares, from Barclays Global Investors

rosenwriter@
gmail.com
iShares are exchange-traded funds, allowing professional and individual investors easy access to
precise markets. For over two years I wrote their emails and online advertising, including static
415-695-7704
and animated banners, as well as chunks of their website. Ask for more samples!
 It’s checking, with
everything on it.

Welcome to WaMu Protection Plus

What if your bills could

pay themselves?

Washington Mutual

banking, home loans and credit card divisions. I have many more samples, from all of
415-695-7704
these sectors, that I can send you–don’t hesitate to ask.

As well as writing copy for existing WaMu customers, I helped WaMu to pitch for new
credit card affinity partners. These ad concepts are part of a pitch that WaMu made for the
415-695-7704
proposed Better Homes and Gardens rewards credit card.
 Greenpeace UK

rosenwriter@

Greenpeace UK was probably my most rewarding client of all. Almost every mailer and ad
doubled as a piece of campaign literature. Above are sections of a mailer raising funds and
415-695-7704
awareness to fight the destructive trade in mahogany.

Parts of two fundraising mailers. Bottom left and center raised money for Alzheimer’s Disease

economic insecurity again.

Women’s Initiative is an admired and successful non-profit that runs training courses for women
living in poverty, helping them to start and run their own businesses. I had the privilege of writing
415-695-7704
many of their fundraising pieces and other collateral for more than two years.
 Zurich Bank UK

rosenwriter@

Zurich Bank aggressively marketed itself as a more rewarding alternative to Britain’s Big
Four high street banks, using ads and mailers like these. I also wrote a number of mailers
415-695-7704
for its insurance division.

 Norwich & Peterborough, UK (Savings and Loans)

rosenwriter@

415-695-7704
and tone, we focused on the benefits of the organization’s proud lack of shareholders.
 San Francisco Zoo

This was fun. Part of an invitation a few years ago to a fundraising dinner for a new
$1million “Jungle On Wheels” habitat, designed to make the wild cats feel more

 Blue Shield of California

A postcard mailer for one product and part of a DM pack for another, these are two of a
number of projects I wrote for Blue Shield of California while working at Cohn & Wells in
415-695-7704
San Francisco.
 AutoCAD, UK

The London Eye, UK

London’s most popular tourist attraction, the British Airways London Eye, carries visitors high
above the city. These billboards and online banners, some playing on the name and dodgy

reputation of the London Underground transit system, advertised crowd-free ways to travel.
 YMCA San Francisco

rosenwriter@

Right here in San Francisco there are plenty of kids who don’t have a chance of taking
even a short vacation. This YMCA mailer asked for $57 to offer one child a place at a
415-695-7704
three-day YMCA summer camp.
