Overview

We envisioned and built an immersive digital environment to show how Aware Super invests responsibly. This space would be flexible, tactical, and could include new content includng video, articles and stories, blogs, narrative, e-news, media, and annual statements. The strategy and re-designed platform would ensure strong engagement, awareness, action, and education.
Aware Super, one of Australia's leading super fund brands, needed to re-design its digital content & communications strategy on socially responsible investing (SRI). The existing content and distribution strategy was creating friction in the customer journey - failing to communicate SRI effectively to members and other stakeholders.

The Challenge

Existing content and comms on SRI provided an underwhelming, fragmented experience for Aware Super members and employers. This resulted in misunderstanding about SRI, how Aware Super managed risks and opportunities in SRI, and reduced confidence in Aware Super's ability to deliver strong returns by investing in socially responsible assets.

The Solution

We developed a cohesive, integrated content & comms strategy, and tactics on Aware's SRI capability. Content included videos, articles, blogs, narrative strategy, media, web content, stories, advocacy, member statements. Tactics were channel-focused, aimed at a strong digital user experience and insights to hone future campaigns. We harnessed robust research in member and employer segments, with stakeholders, and skilfully leveraged supplier talent and information about the companies Aware invests in.

The new user experience reflected the new brand - the merged Aware Super-VicSuper brand. We introduced new content on climate change transition, solar farming, wind power, risk management, and regulation. Content was distributed through web, video, e-news, digital journey, member statements, and employer marketing. Campaigns included social and core media, quarterly reporting and news, blogs, web updates, teders, pitch books, etc. All content was vetted, researched, tested, and complied. Execution was refined, and SRI content campaigns had relevant metrics that were reported to executive team.

Final thoughts

Developing and re-crafting Aware Super content and communications platform for SRI demonstrates how a cohesive content & comms strategy, combined with strong visual design, UX and visual presence, can greatly enhance the member experience. In particular, by innovating in video with a strong user experience and a robust media strategy, we created a brand new, highly immersive digital environment for Aware's SRI program.
