The Digital Footprint of Technology

Technologies That Matter. mBank on IT in Banking – Is It a Myth or a Hit vol. 2

CHALLENGE/ACTION STRATEGY/PROJECT SCOPE

The IT landscape was unique and challenging for candidates in 2023. The weakened global economic climate in the tech industry significantly affected the operations of IT companies in the country. However, mBank did not slow down and continued hiring specialists.

We already had experience with campaigns that presented the industry's specifics in an accessible and concrete way, boldly confronting the stereotypical image of IT in banking. We knew they were effective. We decided to take the next step, focusing even more on specifics in our message.

IMPLEMENTATION

Based on our self-produced report 'Technologies that Matter', IT managers from mBank referenced selected theses in their recordings and presented the working realities within their teams. We achieved three objectives: we dispelled myths based on research results, provided insight into the working methods within mBank's IT, and authentically presented profiles of potential candidates' supervisors.

PROJECT SCOPE

The financial sector in Poland has been grappling for years with challenges in recruiting IT specialists. Despite global layoffs, the battle for top experts continues, and acquiring talent has become even more difficult. An additional challenge has been stereotypes – many programmers avoid working in finance for various reasons. mBank, as a leader in digital finance, decided to tackle the lack of reliable data on this topic and the rising costs of recruitment.

IMPLEMENTATION

IMPLEMENTATION

To break down barriers and better understand the needs of candidates, we conducted Poland's first survey of IT specialists with our client to gauge their perception of working in banking. The report, 'Technologies that Matter,' which was created based on this survey, became the foundation of an employer branding campaign aimed not only at attracting candidates but also at changing the way communication takes place in the market.
