The Scottish Widows brand is salient on account of its famous icon and advertising. Its purpose however, championing women in retirement, had received much less attention than their famous widow icon.

A single-minded mission, around a single day, on just one channel, worked. The £100k Gender Pension Gap was debated in parliament five weeks later with policy set out by the government to close the gap.
