Workshop: Imagery Exploration

Goal:

establish a unique visual language, explore core value concepts and how to express them

We mapped different directions with keywords, black and white only first, to fully focus on ideas and textures

We used a "dot voting" exercise with the core team to decide on the nuances. It's a simple exercise where each person gets dots they can allocate to their favorite direction, stakeholders get more points to vote, having a stronger say in the process.

Workshop: Users & Brand System Map

Goal:

Define brand system, characteristics, common points & differences

1 - Main Brand Personality Workshop

We pinpointed the core traits that make up our brand personality. This clarity helps us communicate consistently, craft impactful marketing, and stand out from competitors.

2  - User Grouping Workshop

We grouped users by their memberships and interests across the site to get a clear read on their needs and behaviors. By tailoring experiences to these insights, we boosted engagement and satisfaction.

3 - Sub Brands Grouping Workshop

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

4 - Sub Brand Exploration Map Workshop

We mapped each sub-brand within the broader system to clarify its role and relationship with others in the lineup.
