Leading Authorities Challenge

Challenge

Leading Authorities is a speakers bureau and event agency connecting organizations with keynote speakers, celebrities, and subject-matter experts. Its existing site made it harder than it should have been for visitors to discover the right speaker and event solutions, which limited conversions. The firm needed a clear read on where usability and conversion were breaking down, and a refreshed experience that could scale with a large roster while keeping discovery fast and engaging.

Leading Authorities Solution

Solution

  • Conducted a full UI/UX and CRO audit to pinpoint where usability and conversion were breaking down on the existing site.
  • Refreshed the experience so visitors can discover speakers and event solutions by topic, type, or location, with speaker videos and event highlights throughout.
  • Focused the Drupal site on performance, engagement, and a scalable architecture, backed by ongoing site maintenance.

Design Highlights

Design and Build Process

We began with a full UI/UX and CRO audit to understand how visitors moved through the site and where discovery and conversion stalled. Those findings guided a refreshed design with intuitive navigation, letting users find speakers and event solutions by topic, type, or location. We built for performance, engagement, and a scalable architecture on Drupal, using speaker videos and event highlights to bring profiles to life, and we support the site with ongoing maintenance so it keeps pace with the firm's roster and events.
