Somebody was on the ball in Northwestern Mutual’s marketing department or ad agency. 

I like their new ad, which I spotted in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal. You can view the complete ad on Northwestern’s website.

I like this ad because it
* Plays off a timely topic as well as people’s emotions
* Is written in a conversational tone, without any 10 dollar words or extensive compliance disclosures

Nice job!
