Ipsos was honored with the GEM (Gender Equality Measure) Award from the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) for their The Path to Insights initiative. This award recognizes campaigns that accurately and authentically portray women and girls in media and advertising.
Beginning stages
As the lead designer, I created wireframes translating key pages like the home page and profile journey's in order to optimize information architecture and usability before visual design. I presented the wireframes to stakeholders, iterating based on their feedback to achieve alignment on direction, then utilized the approved prototype as blueprints to craft higher fidelity mockups.
Creating a professional yet approachable brand
The Path to Insights site required the brand to feel like an approachable, empowering resource for professionals in the field. It was important that the site establish a tone of a trusted mentor providing knowledgeable insights.
The color palette centered around muted greens and greys which established an inviting yet professional tone. Thoughtful use of white space and clean backgrounds reinforced clarity
Imagery also furthered the brand voice with warm, candid photos of professionals. Careful content grouping, consistent styling, and clear calls to action enabled users to intuitively journey through each page.
