MLC needed to redesign their regulatory letters, like Annual Statements and Insurance Notices, before a massive backend system upgrade.

Using behavioural science and a fresh brand identity we achieved a final redesign with improved readability, cohesive MLC branding, and intuitive layouts.

THE PROBLEM

For 60% of MLC members, an annual letter is their only yearly interaction with MLC. However, these legacy documents were dense, filled with jargon, and internally structured which caused user confusion.

THE GOAL

Redesign 11 high-priority regulatory letters to maximize clarity, ensure 100% legal compliance, and guide members seamlessly toward critical next steps.

STRATEGY & SOLUTION

  • Humanised Layouts: Swapped cold, invoice-like headers for warm, personalized greetings and clear brand colours.

  • The Money Story Module: Replaced messy financial sheets with a simple, visual, linear flow.

  • Behavioural Science Hierarchy: Used "chunking" and clear visual container boxes so stressed readers can scan key info instantly.

  • Drivable CTAs: Pulled actions out of the fine print into dedicated callout boxes.
