One week makes up for a year

About

Immotheker Finotheker is Belgium’s leading independent broker for mortgage loans and pension savings. With more than 100 offices nationwide and over 30 years of experience, the brand is known for its trustworthiness, personal approach, and transparency.

Their strength is also their challenge: Immotheker Finotheker is so strongly associated with mortgages that reminding people they are also the right partner for pension savings requires extra attention.

The Challenge

When it comes to pensions, most people think: “That’s for later.”
They feel too young, too busy, or simply not concerned, which makes pension savings easy to postpone year after year.

Our challenge was to break that mindset and find a way to get people to actively think about their pension at least once a year.

The Solution

We took the idea of “thinking about your pension once a year” quite literally and introduced Open Pension Week: one dedicated week a year where everything revolves around pensions.

From Monday to Sunday, we flooded the target audience with focused, accessible content and clear calls to action — inviting them to book a pension check-up at one of Immotheker Finotheker’s 100 offices.

  • We kicked off the week with a full-page newspaper ad in national newspapers
  • We produced a dedicated podcast episode focused entirely on pensions
  • We repurposed podcast snippets for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook
  • We ran a digital campaign on Google and social media using timely, thought-provoking quotes that made people pause — and act
  • We supported the campaign with an email flow before and during the week

The Result

The impact exceeded all expectations. While pension savings had been underperforming throughout the year, this single week in November made up for almost the entire year.

  • More appointments were booked than in any other month in the company’s history
  • The year closed as the best-ever year for pension savings clients — despite a weak first ten months
  • The internal momentum among partners and employees was a major win, convincing franchise office owners to give pensions a more prominent role

Open Pension Week is now set to become a yearly moment, firmly claiming November as pension month. And with the enthusiasm across the organization, plans are already underway to make the next edition even bigger and more impactful.
