Squad App is redesigning its platform and wanted to refresh all of its UX/UI content.
Brand Info
SqaudApp is a marketing platform that connects advertisers with creators. Using its large database, brands can team up with creators that resonate with their target audience for collaborative and impactful campaigns.
Scope
While the brand architecture and personality existed, SquadApp wanted a UX writer to conduct an audit, write new UX copy for all relevant interfaces, and define more of a brand voice that matched their brand personality.

Before
CONTEXT
SquadApp updated its brand architecture and wanted to add more actionable content to its new user dashboard and the empty state of the “My Campaigns” section. I also needed to consider how this new content would balance and blend with the new design elements.
Challenge
The previous dashboard, while minimalist and functional, provided limited information and could’ve been more welcoming and encouraging to inspire action. The "Overview" section could also benefit from clearer naming conventions, and some language used in the Support card was inconsistent with SquadApp's more informal brand voice.
After
Solution
In collaboration with SquadApp's UX design lead, we enhanced the dashboard's design by incorporating branded elements and developing engaging copy. The previous empty state turned into a welcoming, informative, and inspiring space for new users that provides a clear value proposition and key steps to inspire action.
Key Copy Improvements
Replaced a generic "Time to start your first campaign" with a compelling headline that highlighted the platform's unique value: "Tap into a network of over 100,000 creators ready to level up your next campaign."
Introduced clear, actionable steps to give users a sense of the campaign process: "Plan your campaign," "Set your budget," and "Track your results."
Made the Support card subheader less formal to match Squad App voice e.g. “we’ll respond to your inquiry” -> “we’ll get you sorted ASAP”.
Refined the “Overview” section’s cards for clarity: “Total views”-> “Total campaign views” and “Total Publications” -> "Total campaigns posts”.
Results
The enhanced empty state resulted in:
User testing showed a clear preference for this new dashboard. Most notably, users reported feeling more welcome and excited about starting their first campaign and appreciated the additional context about the campaign process.
