Defining the Problem

Problem statement:

We need a stronger and clearer proposition to engage with potential clients in non-traditional spaces.

How is the current site performing?

We conducted heuristic and user behaviour analysis of the current website which revealed usability and accessibility issues, specifically with the information architecture and navigation journeys. The site was very content heavy and would benefit from better typographic and visual hierachy.

What are our key personas looking for?

We ran a series of workshops to help identify the goals and metrics as well as outline the key user personas and journeys that would inform the marketing of the new brand.

Two of the four personas identified

User journey maps for the personas

Key findings

Stronger offering

We needed a clearer core message that clearly defines the research methods the agency offers

International visibility

There is not enough diverse new business traffic, limiting growth revenue

Mission statement

"To cement the brand as an expert, adaptive provider ofresearch and data collection."

With the insights from the workshops and website audit, we ran a card sorting exercise to help put together a sitemap, highlighting the key pages we wanted to promote for our four main personas.
