Northwestern Mutual Personal Prosperity Index Launch
Northwestern Mutual partnered with Ipsos to publish a new ‘Personal Prosperity Index’ and report, using original survey research to frame a narrative that most Americans feel personally prosperous despite macroeconomic anxiety — positioning the insurer as a trusted voice on financial wellbeing and prompting mainstream coverage.
Why it worked: It flipped the economic doom narrative with proprietary Ipsos data showing a macro‑micro gap, plus a simple 0–100 index journalists can headline and track.
The lesson: Consider fielding a recurring index that quantifies a counterintuitive tension, with a clean headline metric and segment cuts editors can localize.
