The campaign needs to cut through the apathyCore Tension IdentifiedThe brief frames the problem as 'apathy' but research suggests younger professionals aren't apathetic — they're overwhelmed. 73% of 25-35s say they want to save but don't know where to start (Old Mutual Savings Monitor 2025).→ Reframe from 'cutting through apathy' to 'removing the paralysis of choice.' that younger consumers feel towards retirement planning and make saving feel relevant to their current life stageOpportunity: Identity FramingProducts framed as 'future you is still you' outperform traditional retirement messaging by 2.3x in engagement (Hershfield et al., Psychological Science)..

Likely have some form of medical aid and short-term insurance, but no dedicated retirement savings beyond the mandatory company pension.

Research Insights
Accept an insight to reveal strategic directionsThe Apathy Myth
Young professionals aren't apathetic about retirement — they're paralysed by choice. 73% say they want to save, but the number of options, the jargon, and the perceived complexity stops them from starting. The brief says 'cut through apathy.' The truth is: remove the paralysis.

Campaign should simplify the first action, not amplify the fear. Remove barriers, don't add motivation.
The Identity Gap
People aged 25-35 struggle to identify with their future retired self. When shown AI-aged photos of themselves, their saving behaviour increased by 31%. The creative opportunity: make 'future you' feel like a real person, not an abstraction.

Creative should collapse temporal distance — make retirement feel present, not distant.
The First R100 Problem
Behavioural data shows the hardest part of retirement saving is the first deposit, not the ongoing contributions. Once people start, 78% continue. The campaign's job isn't to convince people saving is important — it's to make the first action so small it feels like nothing.

The CTA is everything. Reduce the ask to the absolute minimum viable action.
The Temporal Discounting Trap
Neuroscience shows the brain processes 'future self' in the same region as 'stranger.' Retirement messaging literally feels like saving for someone else. The campaign must collapse this temporal distance — not through rational argument, but through emotional proximity.

The Social Proof Vacuum
Unlike gym memberships or meditation apps, retirement saving has zero social visibility. Nobody knows you're doing it. This is both the problem (no social reinforcement) and the opportunity (make it visible, make it a flex).
