Ethos is a modern life insurance company founded in 2016

Challenge: To increase onboarding, the product team needed a UX copywriter to reimagine the first three onboarding pages. These pages had the highest drop off. 

Problem: As a customer I want cost and eligibility upfront so that I don’t waste my time signing up for something I can’t afford, or be eligible for
Process: 1. Audit existing flow 2. Competitive analysis 3. Flow exploration and Iterations 4. Micropy for cost estimator



about the project

Ethos is a modern life insurance company founded in 2016

After completing a competitive analysis and forming a hypothesis (By showing eligibility and a cost estimate firsthand, we can incentivize users to continue onboarding, knowing they’re eligible at an affordable price.) I realized a quote estimator was a common theme and helped support my hypothesis. We changed direction. Instead of rewriting the onboarding flow, I wrote text for the quote estimator.

Result: 34% lift in user onboarding.
