8am faced a complex challenge: five brands (MyCase, LawPay, CasePeer, Docketwise, and CPACharge) operating across multiple legacy CMS platforms including WordPress, HubSpot, and custom page builders. Inconsistent publishing, heavy plugin dependencies, and thousands of scattered media assets created operational chaos. With an upcoming rebrand requiring unified operations across all Affinipay brands, they needed a solution that could scale. We partnered with Contentful to deliver a centralized architecture starting with a full migration of MyCase.com.


Overview

8am is the professional business platform purpose-built to help lawyers, accountants, and other experts deliver world-class outcomes for their clients and their firms. The company manages five distinct brands: MyCase (legal practice management), LawPay (legal payments and financial management), CasePeer (personal injury practice management), DocketWise (immigration practice management), and CPACharge (accounting payments and billing). Trusted by over 260,000 professionals and approved by 175+ bar and professional associations, 8am has spent 20+ years helping professionals make time for what matters.

As 8am prepared for a major rebrand to unify operations across all brands, they faced a complex technical challenge: multiple legacy CMS platforms including WordPress, HubSpot, and custom page builders created inconsistent publishing workflows, heavy plugin dependencies, and thousands of scattered media assets across their portfolio.


Stats/Key Outcomes

  • 5 brands → 1 architecture: MyCase, LawPay, CasePeer, Docketwise, and CPACharge now managed in one scalable platform.
  • Faster publishing cycles: Marketing teams can launch campaigns in hours, not days.
  • Consistent branding & governance: Centralized templates + Frontify DAM integration keep every asset on-brand.
  • GEO & SEO + growth built-in: Redirects preserved, structured content for AI/SEO visibility, and scalable content modeling.
  • Future-ready: Supports personalization, localization, and new product rollouts.

The Challenge

8am faced operational challenges across multiple legacy CMS platforms including WordPress, HubSpot, and custom page builders. Inconsistent publishing workflows, heavy plugin dependencies, and thousands of scattered media assets created bottlenecks that slowed their marketing efforts.

The upcoming rebrand to 8am required unifying operations across all Affinipay brands, but their existing infrastructure couldn’t support this level of coordination and consistency.


The Solution

We partnered with Contentful to deliver a unified content architecture, beginning with a full migration of MyCase.com from WordPress to Contentful.

Key elements of the MyCase solution included a full migration of MyCase.com encompassing 166+ pages, 400+ blog posts, and 4,700+ media files. We built a structured content model for blogs, guides, webinars, press releases, videos, and landing pages. Design system standardization streamlined and standardized design components across the site. We ensured SEO continuity and GEO visibility by preserving 143+ SEO-critical redirects and improving metadata governance. For MarOps enablement, we integrated Marketo forms directly into Contentful’s structured model. Tech enablement connected Frontify DAM to manage brand assets consistently across all brands.

With the help of an Atomic Design System, this solution became the blueprint for ongoing migrations and updates across the broader 8am portfolio.

Shared DAM: One asset library powers all 8am brands — no duplication, no outdated files.


The Results

8am now operates on a centralized, API-first content platform that empowers its marketing and digital teams to scale campaigns faster, maintain consistent brand messaging, and collaborate more efficiently.

Structured workflows and reusable components reduced time-to-publish significantly. Brand, marketing, and digital teams now collaborate inside one system with shared visibility. Centralized asset management through DAM integration ensures consistency across all brands. The scalable foundation positions 8am for personalization, AI readiness, and continued growth.

It’s truly a night and day difference working with this new flow … It’s fantastic.
