Piracy into Opportunity

Software piracy is estimated to cost the global economy over $46 billion annually, affecting industries from entertainment to software development.

In 2022, Adobe faced a significant increase in users accessing unauthorized software, which was a major security risk and revenue loss for the company. My role was to transform these users into loyal customers through a comprehensive, data-driven redesign

My role

My role was to design a simple experience that is faster to scale and boost conversion

Business overview

There are many ways we discover non- genuine users.In this case study we will focus on AFC (Activation Failure Conversion) Some of the other business units are DM (Direct message),Account sharing, and Business outreach

Picking up the pieces

We started with experience audit to discover any design opportunities where we can improve and any areas where we will need to collaborate with people outside our team

More than Research

We partnered with data analytics team to discover information key data points such as click rate, click recurrence, exposure rate and exposure time. Our goal was to see what user is doing with our experience and where they leave our experience.

we discovered that most users are converting outside our experience as they think its a fake website.

Custom experiences

We also discovered that team had seven different experience they were managing. They more or less did same thing and targeted same audience.

Do no harm

As per the strategy based on the data we acquired we cleaned up the page so we can launch the test faster but leadership decided to take a chance and gave us resources to design our north star experience.

Better Understanding of where user will go after our experience

We redesigned the site to guide users after clicking action buttons, ensuring they completed checkout within our experience

Simplified experience

We discovered two audience and reduced 7 webpages to two webpages. Each audience experience was designed using data point and cards were also placed based on the entry points.

Design in detail

we implemented design changes to enhance user engagement and convert unauthorized software users into paying customers. We focused on simplifying navigation, improving accessibility, and aligning with global standards. These changes addressed user pain points, streamlined the conversion process, and ensured a consistent, secure, and user-friendly experience across platforms.

Our design focused on educating users, providing clear action-driven CTAs, and offering immediate support through a chat box.
We added popular plan cards to our page, guiding users to select a plan and ensuring secure transactions.
Our final conversion attempt includes a call number, though we aim to minimize call center volume, with a global footer.
