Marketing the Future of Workplace Savings

Legislation has passed in many states that enables businesses to offer workplace retirement savings programs to their employees. Vestwell, the leading cloud-based platform powering workplace savings programs, needed to increase awareness, adoption and registration among business owners of the state-sponsored retirement savings programs it was facilitating in Connecticut, Maryland, Colorado and New Jersey.

Strategy

Make it human, simple and easy. Our strategy was to demystify the investment process, and imbue Vestwell’s programs with a sense of clarity for employers and employees. The vision was to drive business owner education and engagement, deepen program credibility, and convert to higher enrollment.

Impact

While all three programs are ongoing, Connecticut is an excellent example of the success of the program. MyCTSavings was the first initiative launched and is already showing measurable engagement. It is igniting interest by both businesses and employees to learn more and participate in the state-sponsored retirement program.
