Established B2B brand, PCI Pal, is a global provider of secure payment solutions, empowering organizations to securely take cloud payments. PCI Pal came to SourceCode Communications to help gain broader consumer awareness as it expanded reach into the US.

WHAT WE DID

SourceCode uncovered that the best approach to drive media traction was taking a consumer creative angle. The team developed a Risk Calculator thought leadership campaign. This campaign was launched around the holidays to highlight the risky behaviors consumers engage in and provide guidance around safe online shopping to Americans.

The report uncovered that almost half of Americans, 47%, use the same passwords over and over again while 30% of people don’t verify a link before clicking on it. This crucial information provided validity about why Americans need to take necessary precautions when shopping online to keep their financial and personal information safe from hackers who hone in on these vulnerabilities.
