Workshop: Users & Brand System Map

Goal:

Define brand system, characteristics, common points & differences

1 - Main brand personality 

We identified the core traits and values that defined our brand personality, which helped us communicate a consistent message to our audience.

By understanding our brand personality, we were able to create more effective marketing campaigns and develop a stronger brand identity that helped us differentiate ourselves from competitors and establish a unique position in the market.

2  - User Grouping

We organized our users based on their membership and interests in different parts of our website to better understand their needs and behaviors.

We found that users who were members and interested in certain parts of our website had unique behaviors and preferences compared to other groups.

By personalizing their experiences, we were able to increase engagement and improve overall satisfaction with our website.

3 - Sub Brands Grouping

Our sub brands were grouped to organize and differentiate our products or services within our brand portfolio.

4 - Sub brand exploration map

To visualize how each sub brand fit within the larger brand system and its relationships with others, we created a sub brand exploration map.
