Richfield

Richfield had spent more than 30 years building a reputation as a private higher education provider focused on accessibility and employability. But as the institution evolved, its digital presence no longer reflected the scale of its ambition.

The brand underwent a full repositioning in partnership with So Interactive and Ipsos, with the new website serving as the first market-facing expression of that shift.

We structured the platform around the realities of the higher education decision process in South Africa, where prospective students, parents, and employers all play a role. The key challenge was to create a story that could speak to each of these audiences without fragmenting the brand.

Messaging framework

I shaped the messaging framework that introduced Richfield’s new brand positioning, translating the institution’s transformation into a clear story.

Brand positioning

I took the repositioning work done with Ipsos and So Interactive and translated it into a consumer-facing brand narrative that could live on the website and beyond.

Copywriting

I led the copywriting across the website, including hero messaging, programme pages, conversion pages, trust signals, FAQs, and microcopy.
