ASOS 

Redesigning the Global Content Engine: From Legacy CMS to Unified User Experience.

The Challenge & Evolution

My journey at ASOS began as a Customer Care Specialist, handling live chat, email, and social media enquiries. Spending a year on the frontlines of customer queries provided a deep, ground-up understanding of the company's products, processes, and - most importantly - user pain points.

​

Leveraging this insight, I transitioned to Content Editor for Customer Care, managing all English support content for one of the world’s largest fashion e-commerce brands. The primary challenge was replacing the existing, unwieldy legacy system with a modern solution that could handle global scale, improve user experience, and align with the core ASOS brand.

Phase 1: Leading the Customer Care Rebranding

I led the complete rewriting, restructuring, and modernisation of the Customer Care experience, transforming the support interface into a user-friendly, contemporary design. This transformation ensured the support platform felt cohesive with the main ASOS brand identity, improving trust and engagement.

Phase 2: CMS Migration &
Global Scalability

My most impactful achievement was playing a key role in the migration of the Help Centre to a new CMS. This project was not just a technical shift; it was a complete reshaping of the content architecture and delivery process.

​

Key Strategic Actions

  • Improved Information Architecture: Redesigned the structure of support content for easier navigation and faster self-service resolution.

  • CMS Replatforming: Managed the successful migration to enhance the platform’s scalability and efficiency, preparing the infrastructure for future growth.

  • Simplified Localisation: Introduced streamlined processes for global content management, allowing localisation teams to manage translations seamlessly.

  • Content Accessibility & UX: Actively shaped the user experience by creating and updating content around major tech launches, policy changes, and company advancements.
