Professional
Darin Campagna has been involved in the insurance industry since 1991, starting out in property and casualty sales while in college at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Darin decided to uproot his family from the Madison, Wisconsin area to attain a position with the Northwestern Mutual home office in 1994 as a Customer Service Associate. Darin was trained on all of the Northwestern Mutual products at the home office and eventually moved to the marketing area, where he worked with Northwestern Mutual Financial Representatives to expand their business by cross-selling to their existing clients. Darin was additionally trained in the Sales Support area to help Financial Representatives in the areas of competition and running sales illustration materials.
Ultimately, Darin saw the great value in Northwestern Mutual products and the company philosophy and felt the need to get back into sales.
Darin Campagna teamed up with veteran Financial Representative, James R. Filipek in 1999 with the goal of helping Jim to maintain contact with his existing client base and to expand the client base with new clients. Darin became a full time Financial Representative in 2002, working hard to establish his own client base with the goal of helping his clients to obtain their financial goals.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
