PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS and ANNUAL REPORTS
THE TIME-SAVER WORKFLOW
With $20bn under management, StatePlus offers investment services for people to successfully plan for retirement and manage their future.
Since 2015, Brannium is StatePlus’ preferred vendor to deliver integrated creative support.
PDSs are complex and content heavy. Data must be easy to update (many times) and its production is in the hands of various stakeholders from various departments and levels.
“We have had Brannium on board since 2015. During that time the speed, brand compliance and outcomes have been second to none. The whole team loves working with Brannium and we’re always impressed to see how smoothly and neatly they come with solutions to our creative ventures, of any kind, 24/7.” Anita Ayres, Head of Marketing, StatePlusBrannium was awarded this important gig by designing a bespoke workflow specifically for StatePlus, with the objective to streamline the production process while encouraging communication, collaboration and transparency every step of the way. Brannium achieved this by:
For Ron Au, StatePlus Product Analyst, the implementation came with some challenges, particularly initially when endeavouring to align all stakeholders into the process. However, once everyone was on board, the process has been nothing but smooth and time-saving.
“Once we were all on board the rest has been nothing but a smooth and time-saving process.” Ron Au, Product Analyst | StatePlus
The results speak for themselves; StatePlus advise the efficiencies resulted in at least 50% reduction in the time and hassle spent to produce the PDSs
- compared to the previous vendors – as well as substantial improvements in terms of communication, brand compliance and QC.
Just imagine a project that usually takes around 100 hours to be produced experiencing a 50% time reduction, and that extra time being applied to other value-adding activities. Sounds like a good deal, right? Well, it was such a great deal that StatePlus then invited Brannium to produce all their key annual reports, by implementing exactly the same workflow. Boom!
This is just one example of how Brannium can proudly claim that by integrating a business management approach to the design discipline, we can produce not just outstanding pieces with the fastest possible turnarounds, our innate mindset and approach ensures that all we do is formulated to add tangible business
value to our clients and stakeholders.
