Promoting retirement
plans - simply
“Why on earth would I save for my retirement; I have had four children; I’ve educated them well - morally and academically.”

“They will look after me and ensure that I have all I need. All I have goes on their education. They are my retirement.”
Saving for retirement in a developing economy where family has provided for the elderly is a novel concept.
It holds communication, education and persuasion challenges.
We spoke to those in their 30s, 40s and right up to their 70s.
Cimigo sought to understand the barriers and how to overcome them. We wanted to find the right emotional triggers.
We needed to do so in simple non-financial language that would be readily understood. We built different communication concepts, we exposed them, listened, re-wrote them over and over.
We understood the barriers clearly, and offered strategies accordingly
The barriers to insurance companies and their sugar coated agents came as a surprise.
The marketing route had to change, credibility and trust had to be built and messaging had to focus not on retirement but confidence in achieving life goals and the journey to get there.




Mark Ratcliff - Managing Director
The team at Cimigo are my favourite researchers in South East Asia. They’ve proved adept at tackling the most private and complex personal issues at qualitative research level, not flinching when the client endlessly chopped and changed fieldwork timing, or ramped up the workload without warning. They have recruited the most extraordinarily niche consumers without pause or complaint. Their patience with clients and their flexibility and hard work that went above and beyond what was initially asked of them on two projects relating to sexual behaviour means there is now no other research company we would choose to work with in that part of Asia. The fact they also pulled off a third project for us so well, on men’s relationship with beer and beer advertising, shows they have breadth of expertise— we still quote from the report they produced.
