overview

Things We Love represents an entirely new way of communicating financial concepts in retirement savings.

This highly visual campaign engages the reader with various topics related to saving for by presented information in delightful and unexpected formats. The result is a campaign that is a significant departure in tone, look, and feel from other industry engagement campaigns.

creative process

Our creative process for developing Things We Love is grounded in our unique interdisciplinary approach.

Things We Love invites people to contemplate their own retirement story without using complicated industry jargon, fearful messages, and without trying to push them into financial products or services.

current mindset of users

Often people saving for retirement have the following mindsets:

  • Low levels of trust in financial institutions.
  • Lack of understanding about the basics of savings and investing.
  • Low levels of self-confidence in financial decision-making.
strategy

The strategy for this campaign is based on: 1) building trust with savers, 2) increasing participants’ financial courage.

Unless we build trust, messages about the importance of saving more will simply fail to make a meaningful and emotional connection with audiences, and will not result in positive behavior change.
