WeTransfer
Using customer insights to map the future of mobile
Mobile Discovery
WeTransfer wanted code d’azur to discover and understand the mobile needs of their customer segments and identify mobile-specific value propositions to drive subscription revenue. After identifying the three most impactful ideas, we turned them into high level user flows to bring these concepts to life. With the Red Ocean – Blue Ocean strategy in mind, these three creatives routes are a vision for the future based on real insights.
Design Approach
01
DiscoveryWe carried out broad primary and secondary research into mobile app usage, trends, and behaviors. This resulted in an extensive Mobile Discovery Research report.02
Context MappingWe travelled to, and ran context mapping workshops in: London, New York, Austin & Paris. This data resulted in 8 Opportunity Spaces. Across 4 countries, 26 participants tracked their own behavior to become ‘experts of their own experience’. We ran context mapping workshops in the following locations: London, New York (x2), Austin & Paris. By tapping into their so-called tacit and latent knowledge, we uncovered their deeper motivations We generated and prioritized ideas based on the 8 Opportunity Spaces.03
ValidationIdeas and insights were turned into statements and product propositions, for quantitative (310 participants) and qualitative validation (6 creators). Together with WeTransfer stakeholders, we mapped those results against their strategic relevance. This resulted in 3 leading concepts: Community, Universal Airdrop and Dashboard & Ownership.04
DesignWe build a vision for the future based on real insights. Some of these can be a north star ambition, some might have small features that could be released in months.
