Brief

In 2016 Scatto Italiano assigned to me a design research project to undercover new opportunities and implement the existing brand experience.

I was responsible for the project management and for the design of the process in order to help them to empathize more with their audience, develop new service concepts and optimize all the digital marketing efforts for 2017.

Our Approach

We used a mixed methodology using Design Thinking tools, Lean Start-up, Lean Branding and Marketing Analytics.

With the help of a Data Analyst and a Service Designer, we set up a design methodology to guide us through the research phase and drive us to find meaningful insights from users and the different stakeholders.
