Overview

Nasdaq partnered with investors to create Nasdaq Private Market (NPM), a platform focused on the private market, distinct from Nasdaq’s traditional public market. The goal was to build a website that aligned with Nasdaq’s core brand, yet stood out enough to support NPM’s independent identity.

The Challenge:

Initially, we were brought in for website design and development. However, through workshops and ongoing collaboration with the client, it became clear that NPM needed a complete branding process and storytelling to differentiate itself effectively.

This led to us expanding the project scope to include website and branding.

Research and Workshops

Through a deep understanding of distinct pain points and drivers for each key persona, we identified challenges and opportunities along the user journey for current and desired future users. The insights gained allowed us to simulate an ideal user journey, tasks, and actions within the Nasdaq Private Market experience.

Design System

We created a robust design system for NPM, going through multiple iterations to achieve the perfect balance between professionalism and modernity. Our client wanted a design that was both established and contemporary, engaging yet refined. We developed both dark and light modes for flexibility.

A key element of the brand was the use of diagonal lines, which added visual interest and created a dynamic layout.
