Background

We started working with regtech KYC Hub in May 2022. KYC Hub drives unified onboarding and screening powered by real-time data, AI, Machine Learning, NLP, sophisticated computer vision techniques and biometrics.

The marketing strategy in the early years of a start-up is crucial, with budget sometimes limited. KYC Hub wanted to build its presence in the regtech and fintech community through a tailored communications programme and to promote its female founder, Farnoush Mirmoeini.

Our brief was to help position KYC Hub as a global leading authority in due diligence and compliance automation by drafting and placing content in relevant trade media as well as raising the profile of the co-founders and growing the company’s awards cabinet. Specific focus was also placed on securing opportunities focussing on women founders.

Activity carried out:

  • 30+ awards flagged

  • 9 thought leadership bylines or blogs drafted/placed
  • 15 media opportunities secured in tier one titles including World Finance, A Team Insight, eFinancial Careers, Fintech Times and WeAreTechWomen.
