A new golden age for employee benefits

Will group go-to-market finally enter the modern era?

The $1.5 trillion employee benefits market is entering a new era. Historically defined by complexity, manual processes, and stagnant innovation, the ecosystem is now on the verge of transformation. Data accessibility is improving, digital-native leaders are stepping up, and AI has finally reached a level of maturity that can untangle administrative and go-to-market challenges.

But this shift won’t happen automatically. To win in this new golden age, carriers, financial product companies, and brokers must reimagine how they market, sell, and deliver benefits — breaking down silos, elevating brand trust, and using technology with intention. This paper explores how leaders can seize this once-in-a-decade opportunity and modernize for growth.

In this paper we cover:

The forces reshaping the benefits market: Why deeper digital integration, AI, and new leadership mindsets are creating real momentum.
Making go-to-market technical and analytical: Why tomorrow’s marketers must blend analysis, data expertise, and systems thinking to thrive in a complex, regulated space.
Breaking through the noise with brand trust: How carriers and brokers can differentiate beyond price and product.
Using AI with intention: How leaders can drive efficiency without sacrificing clarity, empathy, or compliance.
Removing friction across channels: Why streamlining complex, multi-layered distribution models will improve agility and reduce costs.

Access the paper for five bold moves benefits leaders must make to shape the next decade.

Measuring marketing’s effectiveness

Imperatives and methods for CMOs and analytics teams in driving measurable marketing ROI

Only 23% of marketers are confident in their ability to measure full-funnel KPIs—a striking reality in an environment where precision and accountability are paramount. This gap highlights a pressing need for measuring marketing’s effectiveness: the ability to rigorously evaluate, optimize, and prove the impact of marketing activities across the entire funnel, from awareness to conversion. Far from a single metric or tool, marketing effectiveness is a strategic discipline that combines data-driven insights with practical frameworks to align marketing investments with measurable business outcomes.

The 2nd edition of our ultimate resource on measuring marketing’s effectiveness dives deeper into in-market testing and advanced measurement techniques. This paper equips marketing leaders with the tools to truly answer “what’s working and what’s not” to prove marketing’s profitability.
