NCO Financial Investigative Services Unveils New Company Slogan
February 3, 2012 – Metairie, LA – NCO Financial Investigative Services (FIS) recently announced its new company slogan: “Confidence through verification”.
The goal of NCO FIS’ new catchphrase is to enhance the firm’s brand and competitive advantage by succinctly summarizing the core client benefit, drawing people’s attention and making the company easier to remember.
“We at NCO FIS understand that slogans can have a tremendous impact in helping organizations stay ‘top-of-mind’ with their audiences,” said Michael Brown, General Manager of NCO FIS. “We believe ‘Confidence through Verification’ will do just that when our current and prospective clients think of background investigations or due diligence services.”
NCO FIS’ main criteria during the slogan creation and selection process were to keep the slogan short, while clearly exhibiting the benefits of the company’s services.
