  • Designing Great Endings for Pension Members in conversation with Joe Macleod

    Designing Great Endings for Pension Members in conversation with Joe Macleod
    2024/12/19
    ‘Endineering’, a concept that could transform End Game communication strategies.

    Join Alex, Nikita and our latest guest Joe Macleod - Founder of ‘And End’, as we uncover how to ‘endineer’ the end game for pensions.

    Businesses, pensions schemes and any consumer experience focus on solving problems and making life easier for the end-user (or member). But what tends to happen at the end of a journey? Often, off-boarding isn’t considered half as much as it should be. This leaves consumers confused and sometimes with a bad taste in their mouths; the same is true for members as their pension goes through buy-out.

    Throughout our discussion, we’ve explored the parallels between Joe’s ‘endineering’ concept and end game communication strategies.

    So, how do we bridge the gap between compliance and best practice to ensure ‘an end’ opens the doors for a new member journey?

  • Communicating change to people you don't know? Behavioural science made simple with Allan and Robyn

    Communicating change to people you don't know? Behavioural science made simple with Allan and Robyn
    2024/10/15
    Assumptions can lead us astray - turning insight into guesswork and messages into noise.

    This episode, we're uncovering why behavioural science and persona development does more than scratch the surface; it's a crucial element in building pension communication strategies that are as memorable as they are moving.

    By skipping the groundwork to uncover what drives members at times of change, are we opening the floodgates to bias, building communication strategies that don’t create the right impact?

    With insights from our very own behavioural science enthusiasts, Allan McCabe and Robyn Saul, discover how behavioural insights sharpen pension messaging and how developing personas can bring clarity to change when and where it's needed most.

  • Are we doing enough to bridge the knowledge gap? In conversation with Mark Engelbretson, Trustee Director at IGG

    Are we doing enough to bridge the knowledge gap? In conversation with Mark Engelbretson, Trustee Director at IGG
    2024/08/15
    We’re communicating… but is that enough to help people make informed decisions about the future? Especially when 10% of members don’t know which type of pension they’re in.

    In the latest episode of Talk to the Elephant, we're in conversation with Mark Engelbretson, Trustee Director at IGG, as we explore what exactly members need - from the responsibility shift and the education gap around saving for the future, to the role of social media and the power of community. And, how we can be bringing members on the journey through all of this, at times of change.

    We explore how Jude, alongside Nick & Moira, and our new leadership team, steered the ship through this time of change which offered both uncertainty but also opportunity, and how good communication underpinned its success.

    2023/09/12
    In this episode of Talk to the Elephant, we chat to Rachel Edwards, Senior Content Designer at Content Design London, to explore the importance of making communications accessible to those for whom English isn’t a first language – and ask:
    • what are the risks of not considering language when we communicate about money and pensions?
    • does plain and simple language as we know it really make sense?
    • how can we ensure our communication caters to people, whatever their background?
    • and how can we better recognise culture when we communicate?
