The Challenge
In November 2016, Tesco Bank announced the news that an incredible £2.5 million had been stolen from its accounts by a group of cyber-thieves. With 9,000 bank accounts hacked and widespread panic set to filter through the brand’s customers, they were under pressure to minimise the damage to their reputation.
Enter OnBrand
Tesco is a brand we rate highly and we wanted to help them navigate their way through the crisis. With an inevitable wave of concerned and angry callers set to contact Tesco Bank, we pro-actively approached the company and asked if they’d like us to record a number of key messages that would help them cope with demand.
Key Wins
We helped Tesco:
- Communicate calmly
- Assure affected customers that refunds would be issued
- Lay out clear directions so callers could self-serve
- Reaffirm that customers remained Tesco’s priority
- Achieve a big impact with a quick turnaround
