Integrated communications to maximise member engagement

Scheme memberships are complex: While your members may all be within the same pension framework, they have differing financial positions, requirements, and target outcomes. Which means a one-size-fits-all communication approach isn’t effective.

Are you empowering all your members with the knowledge they need to make the right decisions for their individual financial futures?

Designing, developing, and delivering outstanding strategic pension communications

Orion+ enables you to recognise and respond to individual member needs with tailored, targeted, and relevant communications, seamlessly manage member expectations across multiple channels and, ultimately, help members make informed choices about their future.

Our communications experts from within Concert, a Buck company work with you to develop your communication strategies for identified member groups, driving improved engagement, and enhancing outcomes for both members and trustees, through our three-stage, iterative process:

  1. Create member-focused, multi-channel communications across both digital and print formats
  2. Deliver engaging, relevant, and personal communications that build understanding and drive action
  3. Analyse, measure, and evolve your programme to meet the ongoing needs of your members

Using this proven methodology means you continually track your communications success against your scheme’s objectives to ensure your communications remain relevant and engaging.

We’re here to help you

Strategic communications in action: Local government pension fund
Facing the challenge of increasing costs of paper-based comms coupled with successfully engaging members with pension messages.

We created a new contemporary and interactive brand identity, that was adapted and applied across all media, including new modular ‘pensions hub’ website.

Three quarters of members visited the new website, and the scheme saw a 25% increase in registrations to the member self-service portal in the first six months after launch.
