The Brief

Cocos is an Argentinian investech that makes investing in the stock market easy and accessible for everyone: from seasoned experts to beginner traders just taking their first steps.
Their platform’s user base and popularity were growing fast. But knowing they had even more potential for growth, we hopped over to help them align with the key brand elements we would later design. After a few months of collaboration, we created the new Cocos brand: an easy-to-use native app and an optimized desktop platform. The goal? To help people gain the financial independence they have always deserved.

Creating a frictionless experience

Cocos already had a successful product, recently reaching the top 10 most popular stock exchange companies operating in Argentina and the South American region, but the original platform required a certain level of investment knowledge that could be a lot to take in for new users.

Despite how powerful and effective their services were, its information architecture and UI components were not as intuitive or clear as they could be, sending unclear messages that interfered with positive user experiences. Plus, they were determined to launch the Cocos App to allow as many people as possible to reach financial independence.

The goal: To provide intuitive, usable, and seamless UI interactions with a clear path forward for how to use the app, with a focus on satisfactory experiences regardless of the user’s investment knowledge or prior experience.

Designing simultaneous solutions

With so many moving parts involved, it only made sense to apply multiple specific solutions at the same time.

Through a powerful combination of collaborative workshops and strategic design, we created a plan in which Cocos’ values, brand personality, and dedication to UX would be front and center.

Brand Sprint Workshop

Cocos has a unique personality and a knack for challenges. To understand what makes them tick, it was important to establish a common language that describes what Cocos is all about and where it is headed.


We started with our Brand Sprint Workshop. Through collaborative exercises, we sat down with Cocos to turn abstract ideas into something concrete that helped align all team members behind a common goal and mission.


During this session, we established:

We started with our Brand Sprint Workshop. Through collaborative exercises, we sat down with Cocos to turn abstract ideas into something concrete that helped align all team members behind a common goal and mission.


During this session, we established:

Brand values and personality

Where they see Cocos in the short, medium, and long term

Who their audiences and competitors are, and how is Cocos going to position in relation to them

The information gathered in this workshop allowed us to acquire in a matter of hours what could have taken weeks or months otherwise.

The results were the key to creating the style guide, wireframes, and ultimate visual design.

Brand Sprint Workshop

The next step was to run a Brand Story workshop, focused on defining a narrative in which Cocos play a significant role for their audience.


Who’s the ideal Cocos user? What do they desire? What are the problems that they have to face? How can Cocos help them succeed? Exploring these questions, we helped position Cocos as a guide for users to solve the problems they face and achieve success.

We use this workshop to co-create the narrative behind Cocos so the brand can tell its story in a compelling way that truly resonates with the audience.
With Cocos’ values, branding priorities, and story in mind, we designed a rebranding plan for both the new native mobile app and its adaptation to its desktop version.

"We truly enjoyed the workshop process

because it allowed us to verbalize some ideas we were ruminating about but had not been entirely expressed until then. Understanding the different points of view and opinions of the team members was the key to defining a path forward for Cocos."

Full-scale rebranding: the first step in Cocos’s evolution

Cocos needed a rebranding that reflected their values, aspiration, and new personality for the future.

We took everything we learned from the workshops and team discussions to start building the visual direction Cocos would be following. We updated their color palettes, fonts, and illustrations while also revamping their logo to match their solidified values.

We also designed style tiles to provide a visual reference for all the changes made to web site's images and interfaces. Lastly, we provided them with Brand Manual Guidelines and adaptations for future use.

Their rebranding refreshed their image and serves as a visual representation of what Cocos desires to be: a modern brand that is in tune with people's needs and constantly improving for the benefit of its user base.

Getting hands-on with the entire product design

Simultaneously, we were auditing the current platform, finding instances of UX friction and usability/accessibility issues.


Based on what we found, we had enough information to start mapping the initial information architectures to understand all the functionalities of the product and to gain alignment between all the different team members including the dev team at Celeri which was involved in the entire process from the very beginning!


We proceed with the wireframes, and after different rounds of feedback and iteration, they became a fully-interactive prototype that Cocos could navigate like a real app, with micro-interactions included.


Then, we adapted the current desktop platform in order to reflect the new branding and to improve the user experience to be consistent with this new app and the new flows that were designed to provide the best experience.


The entire process was complex but very successful, giving us a 360 view of their service. This knowledge, combined with Cocos’ feedback made for the perfect combination we needed to optimize the user experience and achieve a brand image that reflects Cocos’ identity and personality.
