Organisations within the financial services sector face ongoing threats and opportunities associated with changing customer preferences, technology, compliance, new competition, cyber security and shareholder expectations.
The impact of these issues are widespread and only those organisations that respond with innovative brand platforms, products, technologies and customer experiences will evolve as the organisations of choice. At ACA Research we ensure our clients understand the changing markets and customer needs and support them in developing better solutions for the future.
Customer Experience
Market Behaviour
Our client wanted to conduct research with primary school children around their level of financial literacy, identifying newsworthy and compelling angles to feed into a media campaign.
Our client identified a number of high growth industry verticals and required insights for each sector about the business and financial needs of customers in order to achieve acquisition and retention goals.
ACA Research not only conducted this very complex study on time and in budget, but also provided extensive outputs over and above the excellent research insights. These additional outputs included infographics, personas, playbooks and CVPs. Accordingly, the outcomes of this project have been embraced by all stakeholders and quickly embedded into our sales and marketing activities. I would recommend ACA Research to anyone looking for an agency with an intimate knowledge of the financial services sector.
- A financial services client
Steve Nuttall, Research Director - Digital transformation is undoubtedly disrupting the financial services industry as fierce competition is producing exciting innovations that are having a massive impact on the way people manage their finances. With the ability to build and implement technologies that make financial systems more efficient, key developments will change the way we manage our finances including the way we borrow, how we make payments and how we transfer money. The future of the financial services industry does not lie in commoditised products, but in innovation and design that creates these new and relevant customer centric experiences. Investing in the right people, processes and technology that enhance the customer experience will drive differentiation, loyalty and advocacy.
To deliver these experiences, financial institutions need to know their customers and understand what experiences will deliver to both their rational and emotional needs at various life stages. At ACA Research, we know how to deliver insight about your target market and your customers to drive innovation and future proof your business. We have a pragmatic approach to project work, designing and delivering research to get you what you don’t know, rather than what you do.
