Challenge

Hyundai Capital America (HCA) provides financial services products to Hyundai, Kia and Genesis owners and dealers. Prior to partnering with us, these brands lacked a clear identity, had a disjointed customer experience and were spending more on servicing than their competitors. Something had to change.

Insight

The Experience Group discovered that many customers were unaware of HCA’s financial services brands, drawing no distinction between them and the automotive brands themselves. Importantly, those who were familiar with the brands were also more loyal to their automotive brands. The way forward was clear. By working with HCA to increase awareness and improve the customer experience, we could boost loyalty, grow the customer base and decrease costs.

Solution

We didn’t just want to raise awareness of the HCA brands—we wanted to cultivate brand preference, too.
After defining a distinct personality and tone for each brand, we mapped out the entire customer journey and identified opportunities to engage customers and infuse more personality along the way.

From onboarding to account self-service and a simplified billing portal to a streamlined lease-end process, we helped revamp the experience from start to finish.

To balance out HCA’s primarily transactional communications, we created content to celebrate important vehicle milestones, surprise customers around holidays and provide useful tips and tools, like a mobile self-inspection app to estimate lease-end charges.

Our team also developed a vehicle migration strategy, including personalized upgrade offers, to keep customers in the HCA family.
