Retirement Designers is a webisode that tells the story of a couple who have differing views on how to spend their retirement. The video was made by RBC and helped a retiring couple figure out what to do with both their time and money once they stopped working.
The webisode brings to life the fact that 68% of working boomers haven’t talked to their partner about how their time will be spent after retirement. These insights led to the development of the ten minute webisodes documenting what many boomers are currently going through.
Retirement Designers shows that many couples may have different visions of their future and planning what to do is just as important as financial readiness. As part of the campaign, RBC has created a website that includes a 'Your Future by Design' section to help boomers better plan out their post-work lives.
