How Advisors Can Harness Media to Reach Gen Z
Meeting digital natives where they're at isn't always easy. But with more than a third of Gen Z investors citing influencers as a 'major factor' in their decision to buy, experts say that advisors — an aging demographic, by all accounts — need to be attuned to younger generations' habits. Nearly half of Gen Z uses social media as a primary source of investing information, compared with 42% of Millennials and 26% of Gen X, according to recent research from Finra and the CFA Institute. '[Social media is] where younger people are,' said Kyla Scanlon, an influencer and founder of the financial education company Bread. 'That can be difficult for a lot of [older advisors], where they're like, 'Oh, I prefer to do everything the old-fashioned way,' and that doesn't work with younger people … They get all their information on social media.' READ ALSO: Financial Uncertainty Spurs Anxiety and Depression and Most Americans Question Online Financial Information Rising costs of living and stagnant wages have contributed to feelings of financial nihilism — someone's sense that they'll never be financially stable, or homeowners, or retirement-ready — in every generation, but particularly Gen Z: Less than one in three Gen Zers is currently saving for retirement, a Bankrate survey showed, with 30% of this demographic 'feeling behind' on retirement savings. This generation is also twice as likely as the general population to say they don't know where to find an advisor, despite being, on average, 13 percentage points more likely to want one. There are several ways advisors can harness the power of the internet to expand their reach. Taking a 'personal approach' is key in an age of branding, since Gen Z is wary of ulterior motives in advertising and online financial advice, Scanlon said. 'The way that [advisors] should approach it is that character-based approach,' she said. 'It's not like, 'I will have Blackrock ETFs and VanEck ETFs.' It's, 'I am a person who's going to help you through this.'' Utilizing client testimonials can also be a powerful tool in the review-centric era of sites like Yelp. The company Wealthtender makes use of the SEC's lifting of the testimonial rule, which CEO Brian Thorp thinks advisors still aren't taking advantage of. Even though testimonials have been allowed since 2021, only 9.3% of SEC-registered firms are using them, he said. Into the Pod-verse. Podcasts can also be a key way for advisors to build out their Gen Z books, gain an online following, and establish credibility. Six out of 10 Gen Zers say that it's 'important that podcasts provide them with good tips and advice,' according to data from SiriusXM. Mitlin Financial founder Larry Sprung said his firm's podcast — whose guests are asked what brought them joy that day — has helped the firm establish its core message and set itself apart. 'We started leaning into it. We created shirts… We feel like, especially in the world today, there's so much divisiveness,' he said. 'Joy is somewhat universal. It has resonated with a lot of people.' This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.

A digital-first company, transforming into an AI-first company, HDFC ERGO is a leading general insurer of India, which is known for introducing pioneering and futuristic tech solutions in the Indian insurance landscape to offer its customers the best-in-class service experience. The Duck Creek Standard of Excellence Customer Awards recognize customers who have achieved the highest level of excellence through their implementation of Duck Creek solutions and who have a vision to advance their business, while reimagining the future of insurance. HDFC ERGO earned recognition for accelerating product launches, streamlining system integration, and increasing market agility using Duck Creek's solutions, including Policy, Billing, Rating, and Insights. The Indian insurance market is undergoing a major transformation with a growing customer demand and the need for hyper-personalized services. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has also been encouraging the insurers to develop agile and customer-centric products so as to fuel insurance inclusion among diverse demographics and across the diverse geographies in the country. HDFC ERGO's adoption of Duck Creek's low-code, highly configurable platform to design a pioneering AI-enabled, real-time policy issuance system marks a significant milestone, where now the insurer has transformed the end-to-end process for its Health and Fire lines of business. 'At HDFC ERGO, our endeavour has been to offer best-in-class solutions and experience to our customers. The behaviour and requirements of today's customers have evolved to a great extent, where they expect dynamic, hyper-personalized, and innovative solutions, and the insurance industry is not an exception in this changed ecosystem. Hence as a customer-focused organization, we were looking for a technology partner, who would enable us to offer innovative products, efficient services, and better analytical insights in an integrated manner to provide a seamless experience to our customers. The tech enablement from Duck Creek matched perfectly to this requirement,' said Sriram Naganathan, President & CTO at HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company Limited. 'We are happy and honored to receive the Duck Creek Standard of Excellence Award. We believe with these new tech enhancements we will set a new benchmark in the insurance industry and propel the cause of insurance inclusion in India — thus also supporting the vision of 'Insurance for All by 2047' of IRDAI— the Indian insurance regulator.' The scale of the project was massive, involving over 45 business users, 150+ IT developers working in parallel across seven systems integrator partners, designing 300+ product covers, 300+ business rules, and executing 10,000+ test scenarios. The solutions were delivered in only nine months, with their commercial fire product first to go live, followed by their health product soon thereafter. Key results include: Product launch time reduced from 4-5 months to just four weeks, allowing rapid response to market demands and regulatory changes. Dramatic productivity gains for agents with quotes generated almost instantly and agents able to offer 4-5 alternative product options rather than just a single choice. Operational efficiency and risk reduction by drastically reducing manual data entry, minimizing compliance risks, and improving accuracy. Straight-through processing completed tasks in just 3-4 minutes, instead of hours or days. Elevated customer experience driven by policies now being processed in near real time, instead of in hours and days. Customers are now also offered data-driven product recommendations and better-suited options, leading to improved engagements.
