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.
