Context

• SBS On Demand, like every established brand, needed to attract a younger audience. This would, in turn, increase sign ups and ad revenue.
According to quant research, the brand was perceived as "unique", "trustworthy" and "honest", but NOT "fun", "youthful" and "exciting".
• I lead the lean research and worked with a junior designer and a team of 5 uni students from the target demographic
to assist with all stages of the process.
Their involvement ensured a healthy exchange of co-creation and upskilling.
