Empathy-First Expertise

Founded in 2013 by pharmacists Andy Boysan and Scott McDougall, TIP addresses the need for a reliable online healthcare platform at a time of increasing health costs and waiting times.

Insight

There were two driving insights that allowed TIP to elevate their brand and connect with customers.

Customers of all ages engage with TIP based ona worry or a concern. They are condition focused, and although they are looking for value and expertise, the are also looking for empathy and clarity.

By establishing "Health Independent" as a brand purpose TIP were able to express a single, compelling benefit to customers that drove home the relevance of their offering.

Naturally it also reinforced the brand name, and reframed that name to become a customer-centric expression their offerings, services and behaviours.

Having established the brand and identity extensive UX research was undertaken to refine the user experience, journeys, PLPs, PDPs and navigation were designed to incorporate the brand purpose, tone-of-voice and improve conversion and accessibility.

Product cards were completely reimagined by creating a non-destructive design system that allowed for greater flexibility and variety, from "vanilla" cards all the way through to video integrated ad unit cards.

PDP pages were reset and tested with a mix of human and AI testing to maxmise the clarity, focus and areas of attention both above and below the fold.
