23.2% Growth in New Users from Direct Traffic

Branding, Telecommunications

JSI’s digital presence was fragmented and visually outdated. A strategic brand refresh unified their platforms and established clear design guidelines, resulting in a modern identity that drove a 23.2% increase in direct traffic and increased returning users by 8.4%.

About JSI

Blacksmith’s comprehensive branding services made JSI’s brand more distinct and engaging.

JSI is a premier provider of broadband and compliance solutions, serving over 800 clients across the telecommunications sector. However, their digital presence was disjointed, with disparate platforms and an outdated visual style that failed to reflect their technical sophistication. JSI needed a comprehensive brand refresh, one that would consolidate their digital footprint into a single, cohesive experience and provide a clear set of guidelines to ensure their message remained distinct and consistent.

The Challenge

Brand Dilution from Visual Overload

The mobile experience is crowded with competing elements like ads, badges, mixed typography, and UI components, leaving little visual space for the brand to lead. This overload weakens brand clarity and makes the identity feel secondary rather than authoritative.

Inconsistent Visual Language

Content blocks lack a unified visual system, with inconsistent typography, image treatments, and spacing from one section to the next. This fragmentation prevents the brand from feeling cohesive and reduces recognition across the mobile experience.

Weak Brand Authority Signals

Despite the volume of content, the page offers minimal visual cues that communicate credibility or expertise. On mobile, this absence of authority signals causes the brand to feel more like a content aggregator than a trusted industry voice.

The Solution

We implemented a human-centric identity that prioritizes clarity, empathy, and trust on mobile. The interface was simplified to reduce cognitive load, allowing key brand elements like typography, color, and spacing to guide the experience
