Fidelity Institutional Redesign

In 2019, Fidelity Investments launched a strategic initiative to modernize and migrate the Fidelity Institutional website. The goal was to improve lead generation, strengthen brand awareness, and deliver a scalable, user-centered platform for wealth management firms, asset managers, and institutional investors. This transformation required deep collaboration across UX, technology, marketing, analytics, creative, development, and compliance to deliver phased releases aligned with quarterly business objectives.
