Hostess

Amanda Brewton
Owner, Medicare Answers Now

 

Amanda Brewton, founder of the Cleveland-based Field Marketing Organization Medicare Answers Now, has built a career supporting insurance agents and advocating for Medicare beneficiaries. With a strong focus on education, mentorship, and advocacy, she wants to reshape how brokers approach the Medicare insurance sector. Brewton believes that successful brokers need to combine technical knowledge with empathy and communication skills.

Creator of 2 national conferences, Ms. Medicare in Cleveland and Medicare & Margaritas in Orange Beach, Alabama, have become vital platforms for networking and learning. Amanda is also the partner & creative director for the Agent Symposium at the Medicarians: The Future of Senior Health, Retirees, and AgeTech Conference in Las Vegas, which is the industry’s largest event with over 4,000 of the Who’s Who attending.

Over nearly 20 years as a member of NABIP and through two stints on the Medicare Advisory Group, where she is still a member, Brewton collaborated directly with policymakers to address industry concerns. Looking ahead, Brewton’s vision for the Medicare industry includes reshaping public perceptions of brokers and expanding access to resources for beneficiaries. “I want to change the stereotype of what a good insurance agent or broker is,” she says. “Right now, the beneficiaries don’t have enough help around to answer the questions they have concerning their healthcare needs. The way to do that is to have that help and that education come through the insurance broker.”

Robin Tefft

 

As the Creative Director of various radio stations in the New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia markets, she was responsible for writing and producing commercials for local and national clients as well as station promos. The winner of multiple National Association of Broadcaster awards for commercial production excellence as well as numerous local broadcasting awards, Robin Tefft’s love for all things marketing and advertising knows no bounds…so don’t get her started.

2020 was the year of the pivot. As advertising was the first expendable category, Robin’s department was eliminated in June of 2020.Here’s where things got interesting….

In the fall of 2020, her mom and dad got taken by a Joe Namath commercial and were put in a plan completely wrong for them. That’s when Robin decided on her new career as a Medicare Agency owner. Talk about a change of direction.

In the early spring of 2021 Robin had her first meeting with Amanda Brewton, and the rest is the very short history. Using her background in advertising and marketing, Robin laid the groundwork for her success in reaching people. She did this a million times for clients and other businesses; it was time to do it for herself.

Now, in 2025, Robin is the owner and principal agent of Senior Benefits and Beyond in Ewing, NJ not only serves individuals but is also the dedicated Medicare resource for numerous universities and companies in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
