THE PROBLEM

CYSIAM’s consultants were spending too much time on manual tasks. Security maturity assessments – critical to protecting clients – relied on lengthy spreadsheets and reports. Each engagement demanded hours of formatting and repetitive data entry, diverting valuable expertise away from strategic insight. The process was effective, but inefficient.

THE USERS

The primary users were CYSIAM consultants. Highly skilled in cybersecurity, they needed tools that let them focus on interpreting results and advising clients, not battling with Excel formulas. The secondary users were client stakeholders who relied on clear, actionable reporting to understand their organisation’s cyber resilience.

  • Report creation time dramatically reduced.
  • Consultants freed to focus on analysis and strategy.
  • Clients now receive clearer, more consistent outputs they can act on with confidence.

For CYSIAM, the platform isn’t just a time-saver, it’s a differentiator. It strengthens their reputation for rigour, while demonstrating the value of digital transformation in professional services. Visit the CYSIAM website to find out more.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Catch began its journey as a booking platform, offering anglers detailed fishery information, a custom activity feed and an intuitive booking process to reserve spots at their favourite venues. Today, it has evolved into something much more ambitious: a comprehensive digital ecosystem committed to making the sport sustainable for future generations.

While maintaining its efficient venue management system for fishery owners, Catch’s mobile app has expanded to include a rich array of features designed to help anglers improve their skills effortlessly and enhance their connection to the sport.

This dual approach supports both the business and recreational sides of angling, ensuring the activity thrives in an environmentally responsible way.

SUPPORTING THE GO CATCH APP PRODUCT ROADMAP

Our comprehensive UX/UI enhancements for the Catch app focused on seamlessly integrating powerful new features while enhancing the overall user experience to help the Catch community raise their fishing game and fishing confidence. This strategic overhaul required careful consideration of user journeys, information architecture, and accessibility principles to support both novice and experienced anglers.

Beyond the fishing app itself, our work extended to creating a cohesive marketing ecosystem that would effectively communicate these innovations to both existing users and potential new customers.

Integrating New Features to Elevate Fishing Experiences

SESSION NOTES

We created an intuitive system allowing anglers to document their session notes during fishing trips, including pre-catch strategies, baiting methods, mixes, tactics and results in a centralised location. The Session Notes interface needed to balance comprehensive data capture with ease of use in often challenging outdoor environments. Through iterative testing, we developed a solution that uses smart defaults and contextual suggestions, minimising manual input while maximising knowledge preservation.

CATCH BLUEPRINTS

Blueprints allow anglers to record fishing sessions visually. The hotspot annotation feature presented unique challenges around precision and recall. Our solution enables anglers to drop markers on key areas of location photos with custom annotations, using a combination of gesture controls and visual cues that work effectively even in bright outdoor conditions. The system intelligently organises these annotations for easy retrieval during future sessions to help raise their fishing game.

AI-ASSISTED CATCH REPORTS

Integrating AI fish recognition and automated metadata extraction required careful consideration of data flow and user verification touchpoints. Our redesigned catch recording flow extracts location and weather data and moon phase automatically while allowing users to verify AI-suggested fish species. The interface communicates processing status clearly while minimising wait times and battery consumption.

REWARDS PROGRAMME

We designed a non-intrusive, valuable rewards system that surfaces relevant offers from leading fishing brands without disrupting the core fishing experience. The Catch rewards dashboard highlights exclusive rewards in the form of offers and special discounts, driving engagement without overwhelming users.

Holistic User Experience Improvements

NAVIGATION RESTRUCTURING

We conducted comprehensive user testing to identify navigation pain points and implemented a streamlined tab structure with context-sensitive action buttons. This approach reduced the average time to access key features by 37% while maintaining a familiar mental model for existing users.

FISHING APP OPTIMISATION

Our comprehensive screen audit identified opportunities to reduce visual clutter while increasing information density where appropriate.

The redesigned interface uses visual hierarchy principles to prioritise critical information, with secondary controls revealed through intuitive interaction patterns, creating a more focused experience that performs well across device sizes.

The resulting UX/UI redesign has significantly improved user satisfaction metrics.

CHANGE DELIVERED

  • Improved visual hierarchy
  • Increased contrast ratios
  • Expanded touch targets
  • Intuitive interaction patterns
  • New onboarding flow
  • Contextual tutorials

CONVERSION-OPTIMISED LANDING PAGES

We developed a series of high-performance landing pages for each major feature and the new subscription offering, carefully crafted to communicate value propositions through compelling visuals and concise messaging. Each page was built with a conversion-first mindset while maintaining strong technical SEO fundamentals to ensure features would be discovered organically. Our approach incorporated:

  • Feature-specific hero sections with actual app screenshots
  • Benefit-focused content highlighting real angler use cases
  • Strategic CTAs optimised for both app downloads and feature activation
  • Testimonial sections featuring early adopter feedback
  • A/B tested layouts to maximise conversion rates
  • Semantic HTML structure with optimised header hierarchy
  • Performance optimisation for core web vitals compliance
  • Informational FAQ sections rich with relevant keywords to ensure topics were fully covered and to capture long-tail search traffic

These SEO-driven enhancements ensured that anglers searching for solutions could discover Catch’s innovative features organically, with landing pages achieving top-three rankings for targeted feature-specific keywords.

EMAIL MARKETING CAMPAIGNS

We designed and implemented targeted email sequences to introduce new features to existing users through:

  • Segmented campaigns based on user behaviour and preferences
  • Progressive feature reveals with clear, action-oriented instructions
  • Visual tutorials showcasing real-world applications of each feature
  • Personalised suggestions based on previous fishing activity
  • Re-engagement flows for dormant users

RESULTS

Catch is fulfilling its ambition of sustaining fisheries and and making a positive difference to the sport. Lake owners have reported a 25% increase YoY in venue bookings through its booking platform. Catch has seen a 50% increase in subscriptions and 35,000 new anglers registered so far in the off-season of 2025. Since the addition of feature landing pages, site traffic has increased by 32%.

By creating intuitive pathways to powerful features and communicating their value effectively, we’re helping Catch transcend to become an indispensable companion for anglers committed to sustainable fishing practices.

I have to say that working with Ronins has been a real pleasure and they understood our mission is about serving the angling community in more ways than technology. Their creativity in solving some of our toughest challenges has resulted in a platform that has intuitive functionality and is so simple to use that they are already achieving our growth targets.

Ronins has partnered with Globium – a global property investment company unlocking hassle-free real estate investment. With a mission to transform real estate, Globium provides investors with access to a property portfolio that can be purchased and managed using existing approved crypto assets, their own $GlobiumCoin or traditional currency. Our branding team created a new identity to launch them confidently in the marketplace.

THE CHALLENGE

How do you establish a brand that will bring in a new era of financial freedom while offering the trust, security and accessibility of a modern financial institution?

Ronins worked alongside the Globium team to build a new brand identity to address this challenge – setting the stage with logos, typeface, iconography, colour palette, layouts and motion to form the solid but flexible foundations of brand guidelines that can evolve as they grow.

Our approach to the brand identity sought to find a balance between the trusted characteristics of the financial industry and the need for more humanity and accessibility.

DEVELOPING THE BRAND

From the output of a series of discovery workshops that explored the competitive landscape, defined Globium’s value proposition and identified key audiences, we were able to explore visual routes that reflected the confident, modern and trustworthy personality of the brand to help achieve brand loyalty with their customers. Once these were refined, the branding team established a set of brand guidelines incorporating rules around logo use, colour palette, image styles, typography and iconography to enable Globium to apply the brand in a visually consistent way.
