The brief — Meridian Capital

Meridian Capital was raising for a private-credit investment product aimed at professional and high-net-worth investors. Their existing page — built by a generalist agency — treated the offer like an app download: a hero image, three feature bullets, and a 'sign up' button. It converted at a rate that made paid acquisition unaffordable, and worse, the leads it did produce were unqualified, burning the small IR team's time on calls with people who could never invest.

The brief was a conversion problem wrapped in a trust problem. The audience is sceptical by profession: they have seen every scheme and read every prospectus. The page had to establish institutional credibility in seconds — regulatory disclosures, team credentials, audited figures — and then run a funnel that qualifies before it converts, asking about investor status and ticket size up front rather than harvesting every email in reach. Compliance copy was not optional garnish; in this sector it is part of the persuasion.

// what we built

What we built for Meridian Capital

01

Trust architecture

A page structured around credibility: regulatory status and disclosures placed where sceptical readers look for them, real team credentials, audited performance figures, and risk copy written to satisfy compliance and persuade humans simultaneously.

02

Multi-step qualification funnel

A staged enquiry flow that qualifies investor status, geography and indicative ticket size before booking a call — filtering out unsuitable leads before they consume IR time.

03

CRM integration with lead scoring

Every submission lands in the CRM pre-scored by qualification answers and on-page behaviour, so the IR team calls the warmest leads first, within hours.

04

A/B testing harness

A lightweight experiment framework for headlines, proof ordering and funnel steps — the page keeps improving after launch instead of calcifying.

“The old page collected email addresses. This one qualifies investors. Our IR team now spends its days talking to people who can actually write the cheque.”
