BritePool Launch

Case Study: Tech Start-up Launch

2021

Introduction

BritePool is a start-up that launched as the replacement for third-party cookies. It empowers users to take control of the ads they see and provide them with information to protect their privacy on the web.

 

The Problem

This is one of the first products in this market and a new technology that people are not familiar with. How do we help publishers, advertisers and consumers understand how this new (very technical) product works? We had to help users understand the product in it’s simplest terms in-order to sign up for BritePool’s services.

 

The Challenge

A low-friction process, from awareness to education to sign-up, was needed.

 

Executive Intent

Launch the company and it’s product to the public with it’s services up and running. Build awareness, and gain new members in the form of online publishers, advertisers, and individuals.

 

Solution

Our team crafted a friendly brand identity, strategy, and narrative which informed the consumer-facing online experience I designed. The site’s messaging and format gives people an easy understanding of the product, and takes them on a quick journey starting as a visitor, and ending as a member.

Product roadmapping and technical requirements were weighed against market research and UX best practices. We defined a product that would be optimized for user adoption on day one.

Results

Upon launch, the site received excellent press and visitor rates. The membership continually increases as the campaign rolls out. Some of the biggest publishers on the web are using BritePool now. BritepPool very recently completed a merger with BigToken, proving the brand’s ability to provide value to advertisers while also acquiring consumer users.

Constraints

The technical mysteries behind this product and the product’s application was a big hurdle in terms of brand narrative for the company. Turning that narrative into a comprehensible experience for visitors to become members. The rushed delivery time is always a big constraint.

 

My Role

I worked with my team as an Art Director, UI designer, and product manager for the company’s market entry.
