The Problem

Customers engage with multiple touchpoints but often have different experiences. Lacking a unified digital strategy, various teams across the bank onboarded several agencies that produced landing pages, microsites, and email templates with a disparate look and feel.

"How can we compete with other financial institutions in a growing digital market?"

Opportunity

  • Strengthen Discover’s digital brand by corralling a loose or inconsistent digital style.
  • Build a UI component library consistently applied across different digital touchpoints.
  • Improve the user experience with responsive design and optimize the information architecture to prioritize relevant content and reduce clicks.
Success Measurements
  • Reduce calls to customer support by 20%.
  • Increase mobile traffic by 60%.
  • Increase the time users spend on landing pages from 30 seconds/1 minute to 5 minutes.
