myMoneyStory

Concept

The financial services industry tends to be hype focused on products, but can fall short with relating to everyday consumers on why these products matter and how it can impact their lives. Observing financial services social media and marketing content, I noticed there was a lack of representation of LGBTQ+ and Asian individuals. This started a larger thought on how one’s upbringing can affect their views on finances and how to bring underrepresented groups to the table.

Solution

By reflecting on my upbringing and my family’s history, I began to craft the content balancing the line with financial literacy that was also relatable. Once I developed the framework and a rough draft, I presented the idea with the DEI, compliance, corporate communications, and marketing leadership to gauge the appetite. After getting buy-in and incorporating feedback, I filmed the content and managed the development, approval, and rollout of the pilot initiative.

Content

Leveraging the content from the flyer, a social media post was created to recognize Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which led to the following metrics:

Impressions: 2,746

Video Views: 628

Engagement Rate per Impression: 1.2%

I also wanted to create a video that is approachable for the average viewer, aligning with Voya's overall brand messaging, as well as sharing a story from demographics that are not typically represented.

Impressions: 729

Video Plays: 135

Average Completion Rate: 70.6%

For Pride month, a clip from the full video was leveraged to highlight the importance beneficiary designations for LGBTQ+ individuals. The results from this post are:

Impressions: 4,176

View Views: 2,354

Engagement Rate Per Impression: 5.3%

The flyer served as the foundation of the initiative to demonstrate the proof of concept and format of the content. The goal was to financially educate the general public while making these concepts relatable.
