31. About Vision Super
● Established in 1947, originally as a public sector fund
● Now open to anyone, at any time in their working life
*As at 30 June 2023
Total Membership Funds Under Management Member Satisfaction
84,414* $12.81B* 9.08/10*
32. Background - Business challenge
- Marketo hasn’t been utilised, mainly used for standalone campaigns &
events, no nurture.
- Welcome comms for new members sent out from another communication
platform - managed by the IT team.
- Basic emails, little personalisation, no CTA, unable to track & report on email
performance.
=> New members are not effectively nurtured. The business is not able to
measure member engagement and growth.
33. Legacy systems
Background - Technical challenges
Resources
Data
- No real-time data in Marketo
- Data structure
- Not set up to handle one-to-many
relationships
Challenging to develop nurture
campaigns
34. The process - Foundational work
- Instance audit (field mapping, remove redundant fields, rebuilding CoE, custom dedupe rules,
segmentation, tokens, etc.).
- Understand data structure in different systems.
- Defining the journey - think outside of Marketo!
- Identify data points required for the campaign. How to bring data from the Member Account
level to the Member level.
- Design data structure in Dynamics and Marketo, mapping, testing.
35. Nurture set up
Program structure
● Use smart campaign for campaign entry/exit &
transition between streams
● Entry smart campaign lives within the nurture
● Trigger vs. batch campaigns
36. What I’ve learned
● Test your trigger - ‘Data value changes’ may not work as expected.
● Turn your engagement program ON!
● No ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to structuring your nurture programs.
37. Last but not least
- Document the whole process and share with your team.
- Build a customisable/scalable engagement program template with detailed instructions.
- Start developing a nurture roadmap/strategy and map it to the nurture programs you are building in
Marketo.
41. Classification: PROTECTED
Who is ESSSuper
• We are a statutory fund, ie. created by an Act of the Victorian
Parliament, to provide superannuation for specific groups of state government
employees.
• We have 128k members who are:
• Active and retired emergency services workers (eg. police, ambulance);
• Other state government employees, who are either retired or have been in State Super for over
25+ years (including teachers)
• Over time, the government has merged together various funds under ESSSuper/ State
Super and changed the rules for different funds as a condition of the mergers and / or
legislative changes.
• No one outside the emergency services in Victoria (and their spouses) can join the fund
today although people who retire or resign from one of the ‘closed’ funds can stay with
us. For example, a new teacher today wouldn’t join ESSSuper but a teacher who is
already with us, could stay and have their retirement funds with us.
Our Members are in a wide range of products and financial situations
• We have a very complex member base in 11+ different accounts including fixed ‘state
government pensions’, disability pensions, defined benefit accounts (5+ types),
accumulation plans and retirement accounts.
• Members may have more than one super account with us.
• Some of these members are working whereas others are retired. But their account type
may not tell you this.
• There may also be different rules even within a product due to the historical fund mergers
and/or a change in Federal legislation.
42. Classification: PROTECTED
Our Business and Marketing Priorities
Supporting our Members into Retirement and Beyond
- Unlike other funds, acquisition is not our business or marketing focus.
- Instead we are focussed on helping our members to maximise their retirement outcomes while they are working and when they are
retired. We are very clear that this is core purpose and priority.
- This means the task is:
- For members in a Defined Benefit Fund: Understand their unique fund and make the most of the opportunity to have a very comfortable retirement
and deal with any issues along the way – including death/disability.
- For members who are still working but not in a DB Fund: Much like other people in an Accumulation Plans (most working Australians) help them to a
comfortable retirement and beyond.
- For members who are retired/disabled in lifetime pensions: To make it easy for them and make sure they get what they need
- For members who are retired and in other accounts: To stay on track and understand their options, including any changes in legislation.
- Our secondary priority is to ensure we remain sustainable by activity which helps us to retain members at the points that they can choose
to leave the fund. Fortunately, the two objectives overlap from a member engagement perspective.
43. Classification: PROTECTED
Our Campaign Focus and where Marketo fits
Our Approach
- To engage with our member base over time in relevant and targeted ways to help them:
- Understand whether they are on track for a comfortable retirement and what they can do about it
- How we can help them both now and in the future eg. seminars, financial advice
- Options that they could consider eg. a different product if they are retired to pay less tax
- Manage a specific transition eg. approaching retirement or new to a specific account.
- Cut a path through complexity / jargon and work out what their options are.
- To do this, we are building a large number of automated campaigns to specific groups (and subgroups) of members which run over time
(typically 2 to 3 years) to both engage, reassure and nudge the member to act.
- The messaging assumes the member hasn’t necessarily read the last communication, but aims to present the content in a different way
in case they have read it and to reinforce the message
NB: These are operating at the same time as member-wide or mass service communications and a six monthly e-newsletter, which also
uses dynamic content.
44. Classification: PROTECTED
Our Instance of Marketo
Where Marketo fits in our ‘eco-system’
- Our member, account and transactional data is stored in a superannuation specific system and accessed by frontline staff through a case
management system and by our members via a secure member portal or an app. Most transitional comms are from these systems,
including a Letter Management System
- This information updates daily to a data warehouse, which then updates automatically to Marketo via a custom API.
The Health of Our Instance
- We had begun in late 2021 to review our instance which was installed in 2017 and had been neglected since 2019. It had many issues
with inconsistency and incorrect data, a result of imports into Marketo and issues with data in the legacy systems.
- We rebuilt our Account table and Beneficiary Tables in 2022 to align with the transition of our core systems and the subsequent change
of the Account Number and data warehouse re-mapping.
- We now have robust fairly clean data with an exact matches to the DW and a range of available fields.
- However, like all super companies have an incomplete picture of our members.

How we are using Marketo to deliver this.
- We are building out a set of nested nurture programs targeting specific groups and subgroups of members over time. This allows us to
be specific in terms of member needs/opportunities and develop targeted and relevant messages without making them too hard to
understand and build or manage
- It is also scaleable as we’re beginning with the most ‘important’ groups and then adding new series or splitting one into a subset, while
continuing to run the other campaigns.
Automated • Marketo manages the overlaps and transitions so a member can move between nurtures and doesn’t get over-
communicated with or receive duplicates
• It also allows us to plan for a specific member action eg. reopens the same account for a ‘welcome series’
Timely • Where we can, we’re using data points to predict and trigger campaigns.
• If not, we’re ‘staying in touch’ via email and presenting similar messaging over time but in different ways eg. different
CTAs
Relevant /
Personalised
• We use versions of emails and tokens / dynamic content so that we ‘cut through’ the complexity for our members. This
balances messaging that is too broad to be useful and too specific to not be factual information
• We aim to exclude content that is irrelevant based on a member’s account(s), balance and other individual characteristics
etc. and also reflect rules or exclusions for a group of members.
• We’re using Marketo segments instead of Velocity Scripting to make it more visible to team and easier to manage without
coding
Adaptable • We can easily change and update when we add a new data point or new content (eg. video or factsheet) is added
• It allows us to add specific groups and add content for specific issues eg. new legislation
Secure • All data is in Marketo and we’re not using any third-party products.
• We’re also masking sensitive data eg. colour codes not account balances.
46. Classification: PROTECTED
Example: Approaching Retirement Campaign
The campaign structure – based on Indicative Retirement Date and Product
Setup in Marketo
• This is a nested nurture program and includes:
1. Entry and exit smart campaigns for the overall program – exiting includes exiting the fund or opening a retirement account. eg. It
moves them to an income stream onboarding program.
2. Entry to each email – each of which are set up a campaign
3. Transition criteria to manage when the member changes their Indicative Retirement Date
4. Rules to manage when a member is at the edge of a date criteria (eg. 18 months and 1 day))
• Measurement is based on both usual email metrics and actions taken in response to the email.
• We are also building measurement based on longer term ‘outcomes’ outside of Marketo.
How we handled the personalisation
• For email 2 and 4, we have four different emails being sent to four identified product/member groups and within these four emails there is
dynamic content to further personalize.
• Email 5 is optional if they haven’t had a recent appointment or a future one.
• Email 1 and 3 also has simple dynamic content

Example: Approaching Retirement (cont)
Managing transition of dates
• Idea Science built a new field in Marketo “Indicative
Retirement Date Value” which works as follows:
1. A weekly campaign updates this field for
program members based on their IRD
2. A trigger campaign then moves the member
into a different stream of the program when
the data value for the field changes.

49. Classification: PROTECTED
Marketo Segments and Dynamic Content
• To avoid using Velocity scripting, we also needed to create additional fields in the Client table to allow us to use the Account Object,
Seminar Object or Beneficiary Object as the basis for dynamic content or token creation. Regular operational campaigns update these
fields
• We also needed to take care when building Marketo segments that we covered multiple scenarios so we didn’t run out of segments –
very possible with our complex member base and this campaign strategy.
Example: Seminar Groups
• This field groups past seminar attendance into seven segments.
These will be used to allow us to exclude who have attended the
main “Understanding Your Fund” (working/new to fund), “Planning
your Retirement” and/or “Making the Most of Your Retirement”
(retirees) via dynamic content.
• It uses three different fields to cover changes in seminar names
and different seminars for different account types.

[Speaker notes]
Engagement Map is the visualization of the power that we know Marketo Engage is capable of.
The value of Engagement Map lies in the ability to build out reusable campaigns aided by intuitive visualization that can be used time and time again.
With Engagement Map, you can easily manage interconnected or deeply nested campaigns and validate them through simple out of the box visualization.
By providing a visual of interconnected and nested campaigns, we have an enhanced error handling and trouble-shooting experience where users can quickly detect deep rooted errors. This in turn helps with operational efficiency.
The intuitive interface that maps our lead journeys helps accelerate time to value when it comes to onboarding new users, training new team members, or even brainstorming with peers.
Last but not least, you can improve alignment across key stakeholders like your sales and marketing leadership teams using visuals to provide insight into complex campaigns. Stakeholders can quickly grasp the ins and outs of a campaign through visuals rather than going through a complex set of rules governing various campaigns that support your marketing goals.
By facilitating easier creation, management and comprehension of Smart Campaigns while accessing all existing Marketo Engage features.. Engagement Map gives you the best of both worlds!
