Assurity, a leading insurance provider, recognized the need to revamp their customer engagement strategy in response to growing challenges. Traditional communication methods were failing to capture customer attention, leading to low engagement rates. The complexity of insurance policies and benefits added another layer of difficulty, making it hard for customers to fully understand their options. Moreover, worksite brokers faced significant time constraints during open enrollment periods, struggling to explain multiple products and benefits effectively. This, coupled with the overwhelming amount of information in printed booklets, made it challenging for employees to make informed decisions. As a result, customer retention became a growing concern for Assurity, prompting the need for a fresh approach to engagement.

- Low Engagement Rates: Traditional communication methods were not resonating with customers, resulting in low engagement rates.
- Complex Information Delivery: Insurance policies and benefits are often complex, making it difficult for customers to understand their options and make informed decisions.
- Time constraints and excessive information: Brokers are limited in the time they have during open enrollment periods and their printed booklets often exceeded 20 pages causing difficulty for employees to digest all important and relevant information.
