Reward Gateway had recently gone through a full rebranding of their company — no small project by any means. With a new vision and brand identity, Reward Gateway knew they needed a lead-generating website to support their fresh look. However, they needed a website with specific content and navigation for their three sales regions: North America, The United Kingdom and Australia.

With the success of the rebrand heavily dependent on the development of a regionally-specific, global-optimized website, Reward Gateway reached out to New Breed for help.

The use of Smart Content didn’t stop there. We implemented it in their resource center to dynamically show the most relevant offers for a given region. By leveraging a URL-based logic, we were able to simultaneously allow the site to use a singular set of templates while having the header and footer remain unique to a specific region. As an SEO measure, we utilized standard country codes for URLs, as well as "content-language" META information to achieve the best possible local search results.

The increase in sessions Reward Gateway saw for all three of their buying regions compared to the previous year proved the power of more persona-based, region-driven site. Their North American site saw a 24% increase in sessions, while their UK site saw a 61% session increase and their Australian site saw the most significant session increase of 81.4%.
Because of our globalization efforts with SEO and our three-sites-in-one approach, the total number of indexed pages increased by 37%. When we look back to the months leading up the launch, Reward Gateway has since seen an improvement in overall sessions, users, page-views, pages per session, average session duration and bounce rate (*See image of data specifics below).
The significance of the impact Reward Gateway’s rebranding had alongside the launch of their new website was unparalleled. Their new, regional, persona-driven content provided a clear path for more optimal conversions and improved
Reward Gateway has a defining company culture, and their new site allows them to exemplify it in a much more global way. With all the pieces in place to deliver the right messaging to the appropriate contacts and add a little sprinkle of cultural flair in between, Reward Gateway will continue to reap the benefits of their internationally-optimized, lead-generating website.
