Rethinking Customer Experience and Engagement for a Global Asset Management Leader.
Company
J.P. Morgan Asset Management
Industry
J.P. Morgan Asset Management faced a significant challenge managing its extensive digital ecosystem. The organization operated numerous web properties and business platforms, each representing a different line of business with distinct objectives, and managed by different teams on disparate servers across the company.
This fragmented approach made it nearly impossible to implement platform-wide upgrades, resulting in inconsistent branding and creating confusion for both external clients and internal teams.
Our Challenge
A key challenge for this large-scale project in a complex organization was securing organizational buy-in from multiple independent business units, each with unique leadership structures and distinct business goals. This required aligning stakeholders on a shared vision for a redesign that met the needs of all constituents.
Additionally, it was critical to prioritize the sequence of upgrades to minimize disruption to ongoing operations, while managing the project to achieve ambitious goals and timelines within budget constraints.
The solution involved a comprehensive approach: revamping brand messaging, refreshing visual design, enhancing customer interactions, implementing a cohesive content strategy, fully upgrading the web platform, and unifying the overall brand presence.
One Platform + One Brand
The Global Transformation of J.P. Morgan Asset Management
This large-scale digital transformation unified J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s global web presence into a single, high-performing platform. Over the course of more than two and a half years, the initiative consolidated 150 disparate regional and product-specific websites into one cohesive corporate experience, aligning brand, functionality, and user expectations across markets.
The effort required deep cross-functional collaboration, bringing together user experience strategists, visual designers, and web development teams, while coordinating closely with external partners and regional stakeholders. The result is a streamlined, scalable digital ecosystem that delivers a consistent brand identity, improved performance, and a more intuitive user journey for a global audience—positioning the organization for long-term growth and digital innovation.
