Our new sibling brand Verbling needed some TLC
Language learning app Busuu acquired Verbling, a language tutoring platform. Our new sibling brand came with a small, mighty in-house team—but they didn't have in-house marketers or copywriters, and were struggling to get enough people who visited their site to sign up for a free lesson.
I defined key messaging and rewrote their homepage
I worked with one of Verbling's founders to identify the most important messages. Then, I teamed up with a UX designer to ship a first version for testing. Thus began a multi-month-long process of interviewing, iteration and designing a content journey that drove almost 40% higher free trial conversion.
