Campaign Redesign

Campaign reframing ahead of go-to-market

Telecommunications - Vodafone

This project focused on resetting the direction of a failing marketing campaign by identifying the emotional drivers that differentiated the brand in a commoditised market.

Challenge

Messaging for a product refresh relied too heavily on functional features, failing to connect with customers or align internal stakeholders on a clear brief. Stakeholders were concerned that the go-to-market would fail to cut-through in an already competitive market.

My role

Strategic reset & risk management: I was responsible for diagnosing the "emotional gap" where functional messaging was failing to land. I focused on de-risking the creative direction by shifting the campaign from internal assumptions to a defensible, customer-centred strategy.
Synthesis & translation: I acted as the bridge between qualitative customer insights and commercial market data. My responsibility was to translate abstract emotional opportunities - like "peace of mind" for parents - into a defensible market position that informed the revised creative brief.
Alignment & coherence: I worked with brand, product, and frontline teams to ensure a consistent experience across all digital and physical touchpoints. My focus was on maintaining omni-channel coherence, ensuring that the value proposition in the UI was mirrored in the scripts used by call centres and in-store staff.

Methods

Qualitative research & synthesis
Hypothesis-testing & prototyping
Omni-channel message mapping

1. Diagnosis & gap analysis

Combined stakeholder interviews, including frontline perspectives to surface where internal assumptions diverged from customer sentiment. Conducted a competitor analysis, specifically regarding families with children receiving their first mobile phones.

2. Reframing

Led UX and Product designers to conduct deep-dive customer interviews. Tested using card sorting and wireframes to validate potential messaging. Synthesised research identify the core emotional needs of parents. Reframed the campaign around a compelling emotional hook that was resonant with the target audience.

3. Stakeholder alignment & integration

Facilitated workshops with key leaders to align on a unified vision for messaging and imagery. To ensure a seamless rollout, I collaborated with client-facing teams to co-create and delegate the necessary service scripts, grounding the final implementation in the operational reality of the frontline

Outcome & impact

Increased digital conversion: New messaging led to an increase in click-through rates (CTR) from campaign banners to product listings and cart.
Operational sales efficiency: Reduced the time to sale in contact centres thanks to smoother, more efficient customer conversion.
Elevated the role of design: Demonstrated the value of design-led interventions to Brand GMs and senior stakeholders, shifting the perception of design from a "visual service" to a strategic partner.
