Monzo: What Makes People Want to Follow Their Bank on Social | Richard Cook, Monzo

The banking sector is full of red tape - more so than for smoothie brands, anyway. Yet one bank is challenging more than just the traditional product and service in its category; Monzo’s social channels are a breath of fresh air for any marketer hoping to have fun in a corporate industry, and for consumers hoping to see a human side to their bank. In this episode, we’re joined by Monzo social media manager, Richard Cook, to learn what the barriers to entry are for banking with a “new” bank, and how Monzo’s social media strategy helps break them down. We cover turning tracking into shareable content, the power of making your brand name a verb, and how to avoid tonal whiplash.
