Campaign Brief: Momentum FutureFit

Retirement savings for the next generation

CONFIDENTIALSelect a tool to begin analysis

Campaign Overview3 annotations

Momentum is launching a new retirement product aimed at younger professionals (25-35) who are not currently saving for retirement. The product is called 'Momentum FutureFit' — a flexible, low-barrier retirement savings vehicle that integrates with existing banking apps. The campaign needs to cut through the apathy that younger consumers feel towards retirement planning and make saving feel relevant to their current life stage.

Target Audience2 annotations

Primary: Urban professionals aged 25-35, LSM 8-10, employed full-time, earning R25k-R60k/month. Digital-first — they manage everything on their phone. Likely have some form of medical aid and short-term insurance, but no dedicated retirement savings beyond the mandatory company pension. They are not anti-saving; they just haven't prioritised it because retirement feels abstract and far away.

Deliverables2 annotations

Hero campaign concept with key visual and headline. Social media campaign (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn) with 3 content pillars and a posting cadence. Digital banner suite (standard IAB sizes). Landing page wireframe with conversion funnel. Influencer brief for 3-5 micro-influencers. Presentation deck for internal stakeholders.

Tone & Brand Guidelines2 annotations

Momentum's brand tone is 'Confident Optimism' — forward-looking, warm, empowering. Avoid fear-based messaging. Lead with aspiration: 'The future you're building is worth protecting.' The campaign should feel modern and digitally native. Reference brands: Spotify Wrapped (data as storytelling), Headspace (complex topic made simple), Revolut (financial product as lifestyle).

The 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).

Start with nothing. End with everything.

If paralysis is the barrier, the creative must demolish complexity. One number, one action, one tap.
