The Brief The Information Lab is a data consultancy company at the cutting edge of visualisation and analysis — unlocking meaning and helping companies and professionals worldwide make sense of their data. Mark Twain once coined the phrase “Lies, damned lies and statistics”. The reputation of statistics and data has undergone a huge transformation in recent years, with most progressive companies now prioritising it as a key ingredient for growth. The Information Lab has been at the forefront of this area, providing thought leadership and insightful strategies for their clients across the world. But after years of developing innovative solutions for clients, they realised that information about their own strengths was locked behind an outdated website. It was time for The Information Lab to tell their own story, through an attractive and user friendly website. They needed a new platform that mirrored their design-thinking methodology — an online hub that showcased their solutions, products and learning experiences and introduced potential clients to the possibilities of embracing a data-driven culture. Matrix collaborated closely with key TIL stakeholders throughout the project, from the first user experience discovery workshop to regular meetings and milestone reappraisals throughout the year. This was a ground-up transformation, with Matrix committing to a custom design and development phase, along with a full web content rewrite on every page. We followed The Information Lab’s brief that they didn’t merely want a product-focused site, but an experiential learning hub in itself. The content strategy encourages user engagement, with a new Content Management System that allows staff to update the site, and informative content helping users to identify where they are on their data journey. The Information Lab’s suite of services and products is now presented within a rewarding user experience — vibrant custom design, graphics and icons worthy of a design-focused organisation, with useful summaries of data visualisation and analysis software such as Alteryx and Tableau. The new site is an experiential portal where users can finally learn all about The Information Lab — and also learn about the ever-evolving field of data analysis.
