Understanding customer’s wants & needs is critical to successful growth & delivery.
Taking a customer-centric standpoint and focusing on outcomes its possible to make impactful change on a business.
Combining disparate datasets demographic data with user interviews, screen recordings, web analytics and proprietary data its possible to better understand where your product is hitting in the market and where other opportunities exist. -
Proposal
With a solid understanding of the customers wants & needs a product proposal can be generated. Identifying the target market, potential price and therefore likely uplift on sales and ARPU.
Review & TeamworkingThis concept can then be shared with internal stakeholders for feedback to ensure that additional pressure that might otherwise be brought to bear on other teams can be mitigated.
Once the concept is agreed a gap analysis can be conducted followed by the creation of user and data flows which are then circulated to be agreed by core stakeholders, these are then passed to the developers for prototyping.
Gap Analysis & Flows
Process & Data mapping is critical as it sets expectations and aligns all teams so they know what is being built.
ProtypingOnce the prototype is ready it is shared back to the core stakeholders for review and, depending on the nature of the product, a user trial run conducted.
Ship fast, ship often
When the MVP is signed off it should ship early to ensure that it can gather data in the public domain as soon as possible for further refinement. -
Function defines form
It’s easier to make a fast car pretty than a pretty car fast!
Wireframing
Defining an experience through a process of refining Wireframes will lead to a more user centric and relatable experience regardless of whether the design is for customer or colleague.
Getting the user to the key goal as soon as possible with the least increases the chances of a sale or the capture of a valuable lead.Branding & core messaging
However that should not be at the detriment of branding which should be front and center. Core messaging encouraging the user to make the right choice on the simplest way possible, using friendly and engaging language applied over the top of a well designed journey allows a picture to be built of the customer in a non-obtrusive manner.
SEO & SEMParticular care should be taken to keyword optimise and target the landing page both through on page content and meta-data, especially if the page is being used as a landing page for PPC ads as this can help optimise CPC costs.

Brand recognition
Brands need to be evocative and speak to consumers needs.
They need to be concise and targeted, what problem is the product trying to trying to solve and why should the target user care?Integrated creatives
Campaigns should be designed from the ground up with a solid relevant message with great storytelling at their core.
The message should be easy to convey through video, audio, display, text and print.Traditional
Traditional advertising isn’t dead, its still part of the mix, used in a targeted way backed by digital data it can be used far more effectively than just a blanket approach minimising wastage on spend.
I’ve always enjoyed
making things.
From sketches on a piece of paper, creating processes or taking photographs
seeing an idea with purpose realised gives me immense satisfaction.
I love to learn,
change & grow.
I’m always up for a challenge, give me the objective & the parameters and I’ll get into the data and start planning. I won’t be afraid to ask questions and focus on delivering what’s valuable.
Collaboration makes the product stronger.
The greatest products are simple & universal. however having a diverse skills set doesn’t mean that you have a diverse perspective, users have differing needs and experiences.
Seeking out answers and not being afraid to ask questions is key to success.
I’m equally at home talking about marketing, data, design & tech, but more importantly listening to what users have to say.
There’s a lot of tools in my toolkit!
