User Interview

Document Analysis

  • 7 key documents, 100+ pages, including KANTAR, IPSOS, and internal reports.

  • Insights:

    • Insurance is perceived as security; BES (private retirement plans) are seen as slow, low-yield investments.

    • Economic uncertainty has shifted perception: insurance is now a need, not a luxury.

    • Allianz is recognized as professional, modern, trustworthy, and innovative, with a strong global financial advisory brand.

Stakeholder Interviews

  • 4 sessions with the Financial Consulting Team (kick-off, workshops, strategy meetings, user journey mapping).

  • Key Findings:

    • Mobile adoption among BES customers is low—opportunity to increase engagement.

    • Content strategy needs a consistent tone and messaging across channels.

    • BES advantages must be highlighted beyond state contributions, emphasizing investment growth and flexibility.

    • Financial education strengthens long-term engagement.

User Interviews

  • 8 participants (27–47 years; 4M/4F): Allianz BES users, non-Allianz BES users, and non-BES users.

  • Insights:

    • Savings start typically post-first salary; family habits influence financial literacy.

    • Users prefer secure, low-risk investments like gold and BES funds.

    • App usage is common, but users expect guidance, real-time insights, and personalized support.

Allianz Mobile App Survey

  • 8,923 participants (Mar 5–10, 2025)

  • Key Results:

    • 84% find Allianz content useful.

    • 44% see room for improvement.

    • Users value interactive, personalized guidance over static content.

Customer Perspective

  • Users seek direct consultation from advisors.

  • They prioritize personalized insights over general market analysis.

  • BES is trusted but not seen as sufficient for substantial retirement income; additional incentives and gamification could enhance engagement.

Market Research

  • Financial literacy in Turkey is low, with high financial fragility.

  • Trusted sources: professional advisors > family/friends > social media.

  • Interactive, understandable, and practical financial content is critical.

Competitor & Benchmark Analysis

  • Domestic (Anadolu HE, Garanti BBVA) and global comparisons show Allianz’s strong brand image but reveal gaps in personalization and cross-channel integration.

Channel Analysis

  • Channel experiences are fragmented; social media is campaign-focused, not educational.

  • Personalized communication (email, SMS, push) is inconsistent.

  • Visual and textual content does not reflect audience diversity.

  • Expertise and trust must be emphasized to enhance perceived authority.

Customer Journey & Key Steps

  • Mapping from awareness → policy acquisition → fund management → retirement.

  • Identify touchpoints for content, guidance, and interaction.
