The Challenge

A Website Unreflective of Expertise

With multiple business units and a growing audience, RAE’s existing website was no longer a true reflection of their vast scope and expertise. It failed to communicate their position as a global leader in the asset protection industry.

A Generic and Templated Industry Presence

Like many competitors in the oil and energy space, RAE’s site was built on a generic, templated experience. This made it difficult to differentiate their brand and create a memorable impression on potential partners, investors, and clients.

Ineffective Audience Segmentation

The previous site lacked a clear navigation experience to segment RAE’s multi-faceted target audience. This made it difficult for different users to find the specific information relevant to them.

The Solution

A Modern Visual Brand Refresh

We created the brand’s first official visual standards to modernize RAE’s identity and ensure cohesion. This included developing new iconography, typography, color palettes, and imagery guidelines that reflect their innovative and professional spirit.

An Interactive Navigation for Solutions

To best segment and explain RAE’s diverse portfolio of solutions, we designed and developed an innovative interactive radial menu. This unique UI element allows users to explore the brand’s complex offerings on their terms in a visually engaging way.
