Avida International

As Marketing Coordinator at Avida International, I redesigned the company’s entire website and grew its search visibility across several markets. On the side, I built a brand from scratch for its software company, AIIGO.

The challenge

Avida International has offices across multiple markets. I joined as a marketing and branding intern in London in September 2022, and within four months I was promoted to Marketing Coordinator.

There was plenty to do: a dated website that didn’t reflect the quality of the company’s service, marketing guides scattered across teams, and a new software company, AIIGO, that needed a brand of its own.

What I did

As Marketing Coordinator at Avida International, I redesigned Avida’s entire website, leading the overhaul across multiple teams and stakeholders to build a site that’s intuitive and modern.

Separately, from January 2023 to March 2024, I also held a part-time role as Chief Marketing Officer of AIIGO Software, an Avida subsidiary, where I created its brand strategy, logo and a website of its own for the tech and software market.

I also built a six-month marketing plan around email campaigns and digital design, adapted our messaging for different markets and cultures, and pulled scattered internal guides into one set of resources. That’s the behind-the-scenes structure that lets a brand grow without losing its voice.

Along the way I met with leadership in person in Brussels, worked closely with the UK director for my final two years, and mentored new employees and interns.

“She quickly established herself as a respected member of the team, no mean feat with most of her colleagues having well over 25 years experience.”Bart Heenk, Managing Director, Avida International

The result

Avida described the new website as more intuitive and a much more modern representation of the business.

Later, as I took over the website, blog and SEO, search impressions grew 195% and unique visitors 110% between August 2025 and March 2026, while the average search position climbed from 26 to 7.5. The full numbers are below.

Improving digital visibility

Avida is a pension management and investment governance firm operating across Europe. As Marketing Coordinator at Avida International, I redesigned Avida’s entire website, then managed it along with the blog and SEO, and turned monthly performance data into recommendations for branch leaders in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. These are the results across eight monthly reporting periods.

Lower is better. On average, Avida moved from the third page of results into the top 10.

A note on click-through rate

2.82% → 1.63%

Clicks grew 72%, but impressions grew faster, so the share of searchers who clicked dipped. Avida was showing up for a much broader range of searches, which opens the next opportunity: sharper titles and descriptions to turn more of those impressions into visits.

A separate test: form placement

June 2025

I moved a website form to a more prominent spot. Following the placement change, monthly form submissions rose 500%, month over month.

The takeaway. Consistent SEO management, content optimization and monthly performance reporting supported stronger discoverability and website reach across Avida’s international markets. These results reflect the period in which I managed and optimized these channels, not any single change.
