LV= Retirement Pathfinder

Moreish Approach

Because of the unique nature of Retirement Pathfinder, we chose a simple concept that would be recognisable and relevant to our target market of financial advisers.

We used a range of marketing media to get the widest interaction with advisers as possible.

In our creative approach we conveyed that like new cars, retirements products  have  various options that can be difficult to choose between, but the only way to make an informed decision is to  trial a few and take them for a spin.

By taking different retirement products on a ‘test drive’ with clients it would make their retirement options feel very real.

Because the main objective of the campaign was to get advisers to take the online tool for a “spin”, 75% of the trade marketing media budget was spent online, with animated display ads that clicked through to the tool.
