Marketing at Featurespace

Featurespace operates in the fraud prevention and AML markets, which are both characterised by specialised industry jargon and acronyms. Meanwhile, fraudsters and money launders are continuously changing and employing increasingly sophisticated strategies.
Featurespace must ensure customers fully understand the challenges they face, before we can convince them that we are the company to help solve them.

Featurespace designs, builds, and sells software for detecting and preventing fraud and financial crime. Our primary customers are financial institutions, such as banks and payment processors. Our software is powered by advanced data science and machine learning techniques, that require an effective method to illustrate how it works and what sets it apart from the competition. To address this, Featurespace relies heavily on graphic visualisations of our technology, our solutions, and the results to educate our customers – and ultimately to drive sales.

In recent years, fraud analytics has proven to be more effective than traditional fraud detection methods. Featurespace needs sophisticated messaging and visualizations to cut through the noise to:

  • Educate customers on the changing nature of financial crime.
  • Educate customers by visualising complex ideas.
  • Differentiate ourselves from the competition.
