Fighting banking crime, one share at a time

We all know someone with a bad habit. Some bad habits are surface level, some life threatening and some have cost us over R2 million in 2018. According to SABRIC, one in three people in South Africa are into the costly bad habit of sharing confidential information with strangers over the phone, via SMS and email. Our lackadaisical approach to cybersecurity has put us all in jeopardy of serious banking crimes - and this needs to stop.
Fighting banking crime, one share at a time

Considering this insight, we partnered with SABRIC to help educate South Africans on their vulnerability to scams, and more specifically - how they can avoid falling victim to them.

The premise of our campaign begged the question of what you're likely to share on a daily basis. We created a digital campaign heroed by video content pieces showcasing strangers sharing personal items that should remain private. From toothbrushes, to gym towels and even underwear, we wanted to highlight the "discomfort" one should feel at the thought of sharing private "things" and how the same should apply to sharing confidential information.

Our digital strategy was to drive as much engagement as possible through focused social media ad platforms. These platforms included Instagram stories, Facebook in-stream video and Ad Colony cards, which is an interactive ad where users could engage with a fun game of "Would you rather".

All content pieces guided our audience to an interactive microsite where they could further their knowledge of cybercrimes and learn what kind of scams they're likely to encounter and how to avoid them.
