Los Angeles, California.
Marc Robinson was the inventor and founder of SaverNation, the game-changing innovation for employers offering retirement plans and employees participating in those plans. SaverNation required IRS and Department of Labor approval, and was made possible by an unprecedented cooperative effort among four major industries: pensions, payroll, loyalty marketing, and credit. SaverNation won the 2013 Bank Innovation award.
He has been a creative director/partner in a NYC advertising and marketing agency, and the author of more than 20 books, such as NBC’s official 75th anniversary coffee table book, The Wall Street Journal’s 100th anniversary coffee table book, a children’s book published by Stewart, Tabori & Chang and sold in retail and museum bookstores, and many personal finance books on topics ranging from paying for college to credit, investing, and much more.
Marc has a history of innovation beyond his work on SaverNation. He invented a method of communicating personal finance topics simply and visually, using artifacts and visual metaphors. His personal finance books were the first to present topics in modular fashion: you can read only one page or a two-page spread and always come away with complete information. He created the first simplified, jargon-free mutual fund prospectus in the country, for Mainstay Funds. He completely re-engineered IBM’s legal agreements for large-scale printers, inspiring IBM to use them as both a marketing tool and a contract. With one of the state’s leading experts in long-term care insurance, he invented a calculator tool that makes the product quickly understandable/compelling for the average customer.
He is an attorney, and was a delegate to the 2005 White House Conference on Aging.
Marc is married to a superwoman, who juggles her high-profile entertainment industry career with her home life, and he has two amazing children who inspire him continually.
