My role was diverse, with responsibility for improving organic visibility, designing and building shopping tools and supporting a range of online initiatives from across the Mitsubishi business.

I planned and created a range of content, successfully growing the organic audience by over 70% from 2017 – 2020.

From news, to guides and educational content on subjects as diverse as hybrid technology to a guide to towing.

I also supported the delivery of huge  marketing campaigns with a range of  tactical and brand messaging.

I built relationships with third parties to enable more diverse content, from user reviews with Reevoo to used Mitsubishi models with AutoTrader.

All this work was grounded in good user research. I created personas and planned customer journeys to ensure each type of visitor found what they wanted.

I used analytics tools, user testing, A/B variants, AI services and more to measure engagement and improve performance.

I also employed my creative skills to a range of projects, from creating model artwork, to supporting messages with custom infographics and video.

Not to get technical…

During my decade at Mitsubishi I took the website through a number of iterations, embracing new technology and design patterns. 

One of the first automotive sites to be fully responsive instead of offering a seperate mobile version, I put Mitsubishi ahead of the game as smartphones rose to become the most popular to browse online.

Customer focussed 

I put the focus squarely on the customer at a time when the value of doing so was far less understood. I considered it part of my role to try and educate colleagues on the value to giving users as the most direct route to achieving long term business goals.

Buying a car online

I designed the UI and planned the online journey that became Mitsubishi’s pioneering online retail platform, making us one of the first automotive manufacturers to offer a complete purchase of a new car online.
