Guess who Built Intact Insurance's Website?
We've been particularly busy in the last months, to the point that we haven't even taken the time to toot our horn upon successfully completing one of the largest and most complex projects we've seen in 12 years of existence at multiple-media.com: Intact Insurance's Website
Formerly ING Canada, Intact Insurance underwent a complete re-branding last February and rolled out a major media campaign in October. Of course, the online branding of Canada's largest home, auto and business insurance company had to follow suit.
Last summer, multiple-media.com was awarded the much coveted–and highly strategic–task of creating the new Intact website.
The project
Among other things, Intact commissioned multiple-media.com to:
- Redesign the visual template from scratch
- Redesign the information architecture from the bottom up
- Create a whole new keyword and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) plan
- Localize content for every Canadian province through content syndication
- Manage all the content integration in both official languages
To top it all off, a very tight deadline was scheduled!
Results highlights
Despite considerable technical complexity, the new site sailed in on time and on budget–as is customary for projects at multiple-media.com. Just like the various versions of INGCanada.com since January 2005, the website is powered by MMCM-CMS, our proprietary content management solution.
Highlights include:
- Thanks to our agency's built-in user-centric approach, visitors will never suspect they are surfing a mammoth of a website that weighs in at well over 1500 pages. (This is to be expected–Intact happens to be Canada's largest provider of property and casualty insurance in the country with over $4 billion in premiums.)
- As a result of the SEO strategy implemented by multiple-media.com, Google promptly awarded Intact prime positioning on its results' first page–even top tier–of search results for several key words.
- Throughout Canada, people who visit Intact's website in each province access localized syndicated information.
- Finally, the support of Intact's IT and marketing departments was a key success factor of the whole project, actually making such an accomplishment possible!
As a conclusion
Since its creation in 1997 our agency has been involved with ING Insurance and we are more than proud of a seamless collaboration which allows us to carry on as a provider for Intact Insurance! Return to the news index
