Isadora Agency Developed Barnum Financial Group’s Website Design, CRM And UX Services

Barnum Financial Group is an award-winning network of independent financial planning and wealth management advisors.

Isadora Agency’s user experience team cracked the formula for uniting independent advisors under a single digital destination for financial and wealth management, increasing adoption and conversion nationwide.

Overview

As a Mass Mutual brand, Barnum Financial Group offers a portfolio of premium services supporting consumers’ financial needs. With a network built on independent experts, the brand struggled to help its agents establish a distinct online presence that also aligned with the brand’s digital strategy and design aesthetic. This was negatively impacting online visibility and conversion.

Brand Consistency Not Conformity

Vanity domains linked to tagged urls, enable each Barnum advisor’s name and profile image to display in the website header throughout the users visit. This eliminates the need for inconsistent agency microsites and creates a consistent brand experience while simultaneously enabling local agents to distinguish themselves and retain ownership of leads. Combined with the advanced CRM integration agents are able to track and manage each lead interaction, providing greater accountability without tedious administrative tasks.

Creative Thinking

In a saturated financial services market, it was important that Barnum Financial Group stood out in the crowd. Whether consciously or not, we all react to visuals, and people are naturally drawn to good design. Designers utilized angles and triangles to create an iconic style that remains professional and establishes trust. Interactive features enable visitors to pinpoint current financial priorities and follow a personalized path to the services that will benefit them most.
