Website for Network Rail


Project:         brand new website for all corporate communications
 

Result:           communicated with 17 different audiences       
                       
nominated for a company award


See:                the Network Rail website

 

The Head of Marketing Services at Network Rail asked me to write new copy for their 150 page website to best-in-class standards. 

We identified 17 different audiences including train passengers, employees, environmental campaigners, MPs, investment bankers and the socially excluded communities who live near the railway tracks.

I began the project by benchmarking against the websites of several blue chip companies.  I interviewed 38 senior managers in Network Rail, 2 external stakeholders and undertook desk research where required.

I managed the four month project with minimal supervision. I secured sign-off from all stakeholders and worked closely with the marketing team, design agency and IT team on the building of the site. 

The new website is user-friendly and meets the needs of its diverse audiences. It is widely recognised as a substantial improvement over the previous website.
