Situation

The firm’s 1500-page website was due to move to Adobe CQ5. Digital also owned CRM, marketing automation (Marketo), analytics, paid advertising and social channels, and needed to show what client engagement it was producing.

Decision

Stop

Stop carrying content across by default. Set a content strategy and change process with the business before a page moved, then rebuild client acquisition and CRM around measurable engagement.

  • Led the 1500-page migration and the change process with partners
  • Owned the acquisition strategy and ASX 200 engagement strategies
  • Built client analytics and sales support for account teams and lead partners
  • Built and won the business case for moving CRM to Salesforce

Result

Website−80%content, with overall client engagement up 6%, time on site up 15% and page views up 23%.
Client engagement60xincrease in key client engagement KPIs over two quarters.

Limits

The content cut and the new platform arrived together, so their effects cannot be separated. Engagement measures were the firm’s own at the time, and the 60x lift started from a base that was not published.
