10. Challenge:
The USA website has an enormous amount of content which can be overwhelming to visitors. As a
result, site visitors are not encouraged to stay and interact on the website.
Research Facts about Target:
•
Almost 1/3 of these viewers go to a television show website while they are watching it.
•
If given the opportunity to have customizable content from their favorite cable network website, 62%
of respondents would take advantage
Insights:
USA fans want to customize their content based on their preferences.
Business Case:
Increase engagement and interaction time on the USANetwork.com website by 10%.
Project Description:
Redesign the site to incite engagement and interaction for casual and committed viewers by creating a
personalized, customizable dashboard for consumers. This redesign will give USA Network users a more
personal experience with the brand and become a “must have” destination touchpoint for fans.
Strategy:
Create a customization process across multiple customer touch-points
Creative Deliverables:
1. Redesigned website skin
2. Dashboard mock-up with “character” profile (showing 2 different characters)
3. Demonstrate dashboard features (i.e. skin, profile, video, and share functionality)
a. demonstrate opt-in process for users
Desired Results:
1. Increased user traffic to site & user information capture
2. Longer engagement and interaction time on site
3. Deeper brand/user connection
4. Reinforcement of “Characters Welcome” brand

29. Background
Launched during WWI, one year after the introduction of the Kellogg’s Bran Flakes, All-Bran was introduced thereafter in 1916. In
1984 All-Bran sparked a “fiber fad” when they added a health message from the National Health Institute. The cereal has always had a
“digestive health” focus but without highlighting the emotional benefits of these claims. The brand’s attempt to renew the conversation
began with the “10-Day Promise;” which gives consumers a simple way to incorporate fiber into their daily routine.
Competitive Context
As a parity brand, All-Bran’s competitors offer the same nutritional benefits and fiber offerings but with greater variety. In the
category it is a distant second to Special K (also owned by Kellogg’s) and is on par with Fiber One and Quaker Oats products in terms
of revenue. The Original product (the fiber strands) is different than the competitors in the category in flavor and texture; which may
also play a part in its smaller market share versus Special K.
Personality
The brand embodies the “SAGE” archetype and gently communicates a call-to-action for healthy living to consumers who are
nutritionally conscious.
All-Bran’s Audience
The Millenial segment (18-24-year-olds) are more likely to purchase functional foods (including fiber products) as a way to make up for
their less-than-healthy eating habits. This segment is willing to lead a healthy lifestyle as long as it’s convenient for them and satisfies
their inner conscience. High-fiber foods are seen as a critical part of a healthy diet, but the common perception is that fiber is not
appetizing.
Brand Value
All-Bran provides a very simple way to help your body work better. One serving of All-Bran can provide the fiber you need to lead a
healthy lifestyle,
How does the brand own its “healthy promise” to consumers?
The “10 Day Promise” messaging helps drive the point of why consumers should care about their fiber intake. The brand has created
a social engagement platform on its website that makes it easier for consumers to find other people who care about healthy eating
and can feel supported about their healthy lifestyle efforts.
31. Wednesday, 7am. home:
I wake up from a slightly unsettling dream about this cocktail party I have to plan for in one week. My boss, Helen, seems to think that I
handle the stress of event planning very well since I haven’t cried like her other assistants before me. I wish I could tell her that I actually
don’t fear her but shamelessly want her job; my ambition manages to completely quell my nervousness when I have to interact with her. I
have my Wednesday morning meeting preparation down to a science--shower and lotion for 7 minutes, dress to kill in 3 minutes, apply my
black liner and red lipstick in 3 minutes and then top it off with my walk-through and turn in my favorite scent I’ve named Naked Ambition;
my complimentary mix of SPICY WOODY & WATER from my Synesthesia fragrance repertoire. I like to think my perfume puts me in the
right head space--its sexy and strong but also exudes a “mellowness” after 2 hours--and it’s perfect for this kind of day.
7:05 pm., leaving work.
I’m wrapping up my day and ready to meet Dana and her friends in Chinatown after work. And I need a pick me up; so naturally I grab my
stock of Red Bull in the fridge and my “good luck” vial of my FLORAL SPICY perfume to rub on my pulse points. I call it my good luck
perfume because every time I wear it, I always end up with a phone number or free drink by the end of the night--so naturally I’m going to
wear an extra dose tonight.
Saturday, 11am. home:
Received a text from Dennis, a really cute grad student I met at the bar with Dana and her friends from last night; he wants to see if we can
catch a matinee. That damn perfume works like a charm every time. I’m glad he wants to meet in the daytime-- I can decide if I really like him
when we get a chance to really talk without low lighting and alcohol. The cute afternoon date is so comfortable; I’ll probably wear my new
sundress and my CLEAN scent-- it’s got a casual and crisp smell that makes me skip.
Monday, 11:15am. work:
My boss seems to be in an unusually good mood; and by good mood I mean she actually managed to say please when she asked me to
come into her office before noon. No one is allowed in her office or really allowed to ask her questions in the morning--she claims it gives
her unnecessary migraines-- it’s her attempt at being proactive. She tells me the VP of Marketing at HBO is excited about the cocktail
party at our museum and he would like to capture some raw footage for promotional vignettes. I’m so excited I almost hugged her; but of
course I just awkwardly bowed and excused myself from the office.
1:30pm. work:
I look for my phone to tell Dana the good news. I see a text from Dennis that he sent early in the morning. Can’t wait to see you again, you
always smell so delightful. Meet me from drinks tonight? xoxo Dennis. SCORE! I can’t wait for the end of the day. Good thing I brought my
new heels and my FLORAL SPICY perfume. Who knows maybe he’ll be my new date for the cocktail party.

The results of our study indicate that there is an opportunity with OCTs to
create a more durable and waterproof phone. Based on what we know about
them:
• They are more prone to damage their phones
• Texting is the most important feature for them
• They use their to express their individuality
As a leader in mobile technology, LG offers a variety of phone features that
