Targeted towards: Legal, marketing, and communication departments of medium and large enterprises.

Issue/Need: A financial institution was facing a growing online problem. Several malicious entities were misusing the financial institution’s brand to spread negative content, damaging its reputation and causing confusion among customers. These entities created and disseminated defamatory posts on social media, forums, and websites, harming the company’s image and generating distrust among the target audience. Furthermore, not only did they damage the financial institution’s reputation, but they also used this content to attract potential customers for their own financial gain.
