Company

SEI is a global enterprise providing financial technology, operations, and asset management services within the financial services industry.

The Challenge

In the U.S., this website served four core audiences: financial advisors, asset managers, institutional investors, and private banks of all sizes.

On the home page, visitors selected their audience section, then entered a unique experience within the cohesive framework of SEI’s website structure and brand.

The navigation descriptions had three jobs:

  • Confirm they had landed in the right section

  • Keep them engaged

  • Interest them in products and services

The Solution:

To do this, the navigation menu descriptions hint at both a user pain point and solution, all within tight character counts.

On each section overview page, the solution were a bit more in depth, with lively links that reinforced the benefits.

I worked with each marketing team to understand common pain points and weave them into the copy.

Screenshots can be hard to read. Here’s the plain copy.
