A 401(k) video platform enables retirement plan providers to create, personalize, and deliver video content at scale to plan participants. Unlike generic video tools, it’s purpose-built to dynamically tailor each video’s narration, visuals, and calls-to-action based on individual participant data—including age, contribution rate, account balance, and years to retirement.

Leading providers like TIAA and Empower use SundaySky’s 401(k) video platform to drive enrollment, increase savings contributions, and deliver personalized financial guidance that improves retirement outcomes.

Personalized video is among the most effective formats for 401(k) participant communications, driving 4-6x higher engagement than static email or PDF. Video outperforms traditional text-based content because it:

• Simplifies complex retirement concepts through visual demonstration
• Personalizes the experience based on participant data
• Drives higher completion rates for enrollment and account actions
• Creates emotional connections that build trust and loyalty

Research shows participants prefer video for learning about their retirement benefits, with video content driving significantly higher comprehension and retention rates.

SundaySky’s platform personalizes video content by securely connecting to data inputs such as:

• Demographics: Age, hire date, years to retirement
• Account status: Current balance, contribution rate, investment allocation
• Employer details: Match formula, vesting schedule, plan features
• Behavioral data: Login frequency, previous engagement, action history

Each video dynamically assembles content in real time, ensuring every participant receives relevant messages tailored for them, whether the viewer is a 25-year-old new hire or a 55-year-old approaching retirement.
