Onyx CenterSource: Closing The Loop

We began our work with Onyx by conducting extensive industry and buyer research. What we found was fascinating, and it shaped all of our recommendations. After analyzing our research, we realized that Onyx didn’t have a single buyer that fit neatly into a single profile. Onyx actually had two buyers, one more sophisticated than the other but both open to the same message — one of gaining control over business processes that took too many resources to manage.

That was the story that Onyx needed to tell — that it could “close the loop” and help both hotels and travel agents serve customers better. That story is reflected in everything from the copy and visual direction on the website to the new logo and branding.

It’s one thing, though, for Onyx to tell that story. It’s another if customers do it. That’s why testimonials and case studies were a critical part of the site design and messaging. But case studies and other thought leadership content has little value if it’s not being read. To guide the user to this content and to generate leads for Onyx, the site was designed to highlight those customer stories and to encourage their downloads.
