We are excited to share J. Krug has been awarded the 2022 Agency of the Year from the Independent Insurance Agents of Illinois!
We have worked hard to reshape our firm over the past 15 years and this award is a testament to our team’s commitment and dedication to achieving our mutual goals. I like to say that we’re a 40-year-old startup because we have been around since 1982 but we have a healthy combination of experienced talent and new talent working together to serve our clients and the community in the best possible way.
A huge thank you goes to our team, our clients, our industry partners, and our peers. We look forward to the continuing the journey!

The agency provides the Relax, You’re Covered™ sense of security through their personal approach. Agency employees and management are expected to have accountability, communicate, have positive financial results, growth and strong work ethic to carrier partners, customers, employees and everyone they work with on a daily basis.
J. Krug has made significant investments in technology over the last few years to enhance the way the agency interacts with clients.

To ensure the insurance industry is encouraging young talent to consider a career in insurance, J. Krug partnered with Illinois State University and the Katie School of Insurance, where almost half of the staff is from Illinois State including the three principals.

Krug has always brought on interns every summer and recently started a podcast with two of the younger producers to help promote the industry.
