Reach and Engage Young Parents with Permission-Based 529 Outreach

Drive awareness and participation where financial education actually lands in trusted parent inboxes.

The Challenge

The Awareness & Engagement Gap in 529 Outreach

Most state 529 plans struggle to:

  • Surface 529 education amidst digital clutter
  • Reach parents without invasive ad tracking
  • Convert awareness into enrollment actions or engagement

Data privacy trends and platform constraints mean traditional DTC channels are losing efficacy.
