We ensure customers know who we are, and why Hastings Direct is the better choice; we develop our brand communications strategy, our visual identity, and tone to deliver a consistent brand experience.
We’re responsible for delivering a market-leading customer experience when customers want to buy a new policy online – either through a PCW (price comparison website) or directly from our website. We use web analytic data and various research methods to help us understand why customers don’t buy and use this to drive changes that make their experience better, ensuring we drive the right commercial outcomes at the same time.
Our team is responsible for creating great app-first digital journeys to help our customers manage all their needs 24/7. This is key to Hastings becoming the best and biggest digital insurer.
We provide the business with a centre-of-excellence that defines, designs and validates digital solutions. We generate insight through user and market research and combine experience design with data and analytics to create brilliant digital products for our customers.
We’re responsible for communications at every point in a customer’s journey.

We make sure everything we write is in a clear and consistent tone of voice and our focus is to acquire, educate, grow, inform and retain our customers.
