Northgate Media Brand Digital Transformation Project

The challenge

Northgate Media had a strong product and an invisible website: nine-second loads, three conflicting messages on the homepage, and a blog nobody could update without a developer. Paid ads carried every signup.

Research first

Through meticulous research — analytics, session recordings and eleven customer interviews — we learned visitors bounced not on price, but on confusion. Nobody could explain what Northgate Media did after one scroll.

Approach & solution

Strategic planning came before pixels: one message per audience, a sitemap built from search data, and a content system the Northgate Media team actually enjoys using. Then innovative execution — a full technical rebuild with a one-second performance budget.
