The Problem
Brother International, the business and home office products provider, was overwhelmed by the influx of online customer service requests. Because internal customer service was staffed 9-5 on weekdays, there was a backload of inbound requests, especially nights and weekends. In addition, only negative feedback could be addressed due to capacity constraints.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we were faced with many new challenges on our social accounts and beyond. Although newly onboarded to our business at the time, the entire B Squared Media team jumped in with an all-hands-on-deck approach to assist our customers. B Squared Media ensured responses to our social communities were provided quickly while also successfully leaning into the Brother philosophy of providing consistent and courteous “At Your Side” support. The strategy and support of the B Squared Media team was invaluable during this unprecedented time and we are thankful to have them as part of our team.
