The Problem
What Were Seattle Mortgage Planners’ Issues and Concerns?
Seattle Mortgage Planners wanted an entire website rebuild, including new site architecture, with a big focus on the customer journey and improved user experience. Along with the new website came many new pages and subpages that needed fresh and creative content.
The goal of this new site design was not only to provide a different focus and improved user experience, but to attract a younger local demographic of prospective homeowners in the area.

How Did Marketeering Group Improve Their Brand?
In order to help them with their rebrand, Marketeering Group chose to focus on their new ideal customer. Seattle Mortgage Planners wanted to focus on young prospective or new homeowners, which means they needed a brand makeover to appeal to that target demographic.
