Ohio National Financial Services is a leading financial services company based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company is committed to helping individuals, groups and businesses meet their financial goals by providing the best value in insurance protection and wealth accumulation options.

In today’s highly competitive financial services industry, Ohio National knew that differentiating its brand required a customer-centric mindset. With over 50,000 representatives, in 47 states, Ohio National Financial Services needed an efficient way to analyze important conversations in order to support and satisfy their customers’ needs.  For Ohio National, this means differentiating on service and enhancing the customer experience across channels. As such, knowing public sentiment, customer conversation or an impending crisis quickly — across all media channels — was a primary requirement for aligning with these marketplace needs and quickly resolving PR issues.

The Ohio National Financial Services team leveraged the Zignal Enterprise Solution, to focus on key competitors, marketplace trends and customer requirements. Based upon these synthesized industry conversations and customer feedback, Ohio National uses this media intelligence for promotional opportunities, possible remediation issues and competitor research.

“On a day to day basis, [Zignal Labs] really helps to show where our keywords are mentioned.  Sometimes we find out about mentions or news even before our Management team does” – Carrie Stigler, Director of Digital Marketing
