I'm thrilled to announce that with our partner Heywood, a leading innovator in pension management technology, we have secured the Technology Provider of the Year award at the 2025 European Pensions Awards.
What makes this year particularly exciting is that the award specifically highlights Video Engage, Heywood’s groundbreaking member engagement solution powered by our very own Video Canvas.
The European Pensions Awards celebrate excellence across the pensions industry in Europe, with this category honouring digital innovation that significantly enhances compliance, engagement, and user experience. Winning this prestigious award three years in a row is an incredible achievement and underlines the growing importance of personalised, video-based communication within the pensions sector.
Transforming Member Engagement through Video
Video Engage has revolutionised how pension schemes connect with their members by delivering clear, engaging, and personalised video content tailored to each individual's circumstances. At the heart of this solution lies Video Canvas, our platform enabling dynamic and meaningful storytelling.
Instead of overwhelming members with dense paperwork, Video Engage offers concise and visually compelling video journeys that clearly explain pension options. This innovative approach significantly boosts member engagement and understanding, tackling one of the biggest challenges pension schemes face today.
A Collaboration Worth Celebrating
Sian Jones, CEO of Heywood, shared: “We’re absolutely delighted to win this award for the third consecutive year and even prouder that it recognises the impact of Video Engage. Together with our partners at Video Canvas, we’re reshaping how pension schemes communicate with their members. This achievement is a true reflection of our teams' hard work and dedication."
As Aaron Coates, Product Director at Video Canvas, I added: “The last three years of partnership with Heywood have truly exemplified what collaboration can achieve when driven by a shared vision and commitment to improving outcomes for pension scheme members. Having our joint efforts recognised internationally is incredibly rewarding, and it’s an honour to stand alongside Heywood as they celebrate this success."
Shaping the Future of Financial Communications
This recognition reflects a broader transformation in how organisations approach financial communications. As pensions grow increasingly complex, Video Canvas provides a smarter, more intuitive way to engage and inform members, replacing confusion with clarity and inactivity with action.
Heywood continues to lead the charge with their member-first, data-driven innovations, and we at Video Canvas are proud to power the technology making this transformation possible.
Congratulations again to everyone at Heywood—we’re excited to continue building the future of pensions together.
