In an era when much of customers’ interactions with brands happen online, ensuring a great digital presence is crucial for companies aiming at building loyalty, improving visibility and, ultimately, maximizing the benefit of conversions.

We helped global insurance company Willis Towers Watson to promote their web presence relative to the affinity segment, by acting on different communication situations, UX and design components.
With over 40,000 employees and business activities spread across 140 countries, Willis Towers Watson is a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company.

We have been working with the company to the design and implement a dedicated online platform for the affinity segment of their Italian market, with a two-fold purpose:

  1. providing potential customers with user-friendly information about the company's products and services;
  2. giving existing customers an easy-to-use platform to manage their policies and subscriptions.

Sicuri con Willis Towers Watson soon became a huge project, which required creativity, some excellent UX design and a lot of strategic thinking.

Strategic thinking: the springboard of the whole project
We kicked off the project by analysing all the main features of the affinity segment. Who are our users going to be? What are they going to look for on our website?
By trying to answer these questions, we got a better understanding of how to structure our information architecture to both cater for the needs of the audience and to deliver the key communication messages in the most direct way.
