Charles Russell Speechlys, an international law firm specialising in private capital, worked with Netcel to rebuild its Optimizely platform, modernise its digital experience, improve lead quality, and demonstrate clear return on investment.

The challenge
Charles Russell Speechlys’s previous implementation of Optimizely had become a constraint — lacking the flexibility, measurement capability and user experience needed to support its evolving international ambitions. The firm also needed to:
- Improve digital lead quality and attribution
- Manage high-quality content more efficiently
- Demonstrate digital ROI to internal stakeholders
Having previously worked with another Optimizely agency, they engaged Netcel to lead the next phase of its digital evolution.
