Creatively driving sales leads for Signicat

Signicat is a pioneering, pan-European provider of digital identity solutions with an unrivalled track record in Europe. Its platform incorporates the most extensive suite of identity verification and authentication systems in the world, all accessible through a single integration point.

Challenge

Following several years of success working with CCGroup to produce and distribute the regular “Battle to Onboard” report, looking at consumer attitudes to customer acquisition, Signicat was keen on a fresh approach for 2024.

  • Position Signicat as an expert on an emerging threat to financial services providers, and with the technology to handle the threat of sophisticated AI-based fraud.
  • Launch a creative that would support follow-up marketing campaigns and drive marketing qualified leads (MQLs).
  • Create a report that would get attention at the biggest financial services event of the year, Money 20/20 Europe

Solution

  • Commission research into AI identity fraud, an underexplored aspect of both fraud and AI. This is a fresh topic, relevant to financial service providers, but not driven entirely by overhyped trends.
  • Partner with a third-party expert, Consult Hyperion, to develop the report, “The Battle Against AI-driven Identity Fraud”, based on a survey of financial service providers across Europe.
  • The report puts AI-driven identity fraud into context with the state of fraud more generally. It examines whether fraud teams are prepared to meet this new threat, and includes a specific look at the rise of deepfakes
  • Launch the report at Money20/20 to bring attention to Signicat and arm its sales and marketing teams with data to lead conversations with potential prospects.
  • Target fintech, cyber, IT and AI-focused publications to maximise Signicat’s coverage and drive prospects to download its report.

Coverage in Forbes from fintech influencer Dave Birch

“Our reports had been successful, but we needed to create something new—without losing any of the impact from before. With CCGroup we found a fresh angle that fulfilled our needs and exceeded our expectations in terms of results. This report went beyond PR as a “hero” asset and has been a powerful driver of leads across various marketing channels.”
