Ireland’s Scam Exposure Survey
Ekco commissioned Censuswide to survey 1,000 adults in Ireland about scam and phishing attempts. The resulting figures — including an estimated €760 million lost and an average of 63 scam communications per person annually — gave the brand a timely, newsworthy way to discuss cyber resilience.
Why it worked: It converted a universal anxiety into a hard national cost using third‑party survey data plus a per‑person frequency stat reporters can headline.
The lesson: Consider quantifying a widely-felt risk with independent polling, then scale it to a national cost and rank the top culprits.
