Guest Quote:
- “ We went ahead on this myth busting, myth busting trail. One, was that this was really going to be, our program was gonna be impacted by age. Older people may not want to engage over certain age groups. They're not digital, they're not gonna go onto your mobile app. And we said, okay, let's actually test that. And so we put our customers into different cohorts and we said, okay, let's separate them by decades. Every 10 years, let's take a look at it. And one of our highest engaged populations is between 70 and 80 of actually getting into our app. Four times a day, they're in our mobile app. And if I think of, as a consumer, how many apps am I going to four times a day? You don't think of life insurance or insurance in general.”
