The next frontier
What’s next?
When it comes to serving the consumer of the future, it’s not about implementing technology first. The answers lie in being customer-centric first, starting with your customers’ needs and taking a broader view of their lives and how they interact on the digital journey.
Case Studies
Scan and Upload tech built in weeks to grab market share
A large challenger bank was behind competitors in receiving and processing mortgage applications. They wanted a bespoke Scan and Upload system to make life easier for brokers. We undertook rapid agile innovation to design, deploy and test in 2-week cycles, resulting in a launch of the concept in 6 weeks. This drove a double-digit increase in the percentage of applications received and processed.

Concrete recommendations to improve Customer Centricity and Digital Maturity
Africa’s largest mutual funeral services provider had limited traction with their CX strategy and wanted to accelerate progress. Over just 4 months, we undertook maturity assessments as well as research with over 1000 customers and 1000 staff. The resulting insights were evolved into clear recommendations and a prioritised roadmap using design-thinking led consulting. This resulted in strong alignment and clarity amongst executives on how to unlock traction in lowering the cost to serve members while improving customer service

Launch of SA’s first ever chat-commerce channel in Quick-Service-Restaurant industry
A leading Quick-Service-Restaurant in SA with over 950 outlets and part of a fortune 500 global brand wanted to make their online ordering capability available to a larger market. We helped to conceptualise a WhatsApp enabled chat ordering system, supported by a robust digital marketing launch, and coupled with gamified AR engagements. Within 6 months, this resulted in higher-than-expected transaction on the platform, and improved conversion rates over existing e-commerce averages.

Brand Repositioning, Digital Strategy Enhancement and Lead Generation
A leading player in the South African sports betting industry needed to reposition its brand as the premier, life-changing jackpot game. The campaign aimed to increase first time competition entrances, increase sales conversions and sustainably enhance the brand value of our client in the minds of consumers. Through a digitally-lead strategy we were able to drive online entry purchases through various apps and online portals as opposed to non-traceable in-store purchases. A strong digital and social thrust of both education, creative enticing and easier way to play was strategised.
