Building trust and brand awareness
As a young organization, Enova’s communications efforts in 2023 focused on brand awareness and building trust with our customers.

In an age where misinformation can be a real concern, the communications team has made a concerted effort to ensure that customers can rely on the website for self-service tools and information sources.
