Steelcase Customer Journey
Steelcase | Experience Design
Positioning: Research / Choice + Customer Loyalty
The Steelcase Learning & Innovation Center (LINC) in Munich is a temple of well-considered design. Facing competition from players within and outside of their vertical, Steelcase needed to up-level the conversation with customers, ultimately deepening brand loyalty in the process. Our task was to use the new LINC as a backdrop to tell this higher level story of Steelcase to its customers. This took the form of a deep guest experience that tracked from pre-visit to well beyond their departure, and hinged on various light bulb moments of self-discovery.
Rather than pushing products, Steelcase wanted to provide customers with resources and learning experiences to find solutions that support the unique needs of their organization – in short, for them to discover how their space was a strategic business asset. Two years, hundreds of locator beacons, dozens of pegboards, and one interactive table later, that experience is live, and companies are already shifting their perspective – and going all-in with Steelcase.

¡Dígame!
Mightyverse | Experience Design
Positioning: Awareness + Point of Sale
One of the biggest hurdles learners of a new language face is to be brave enough to start speaking.
We worked with language startup Mightyverse to craft a game that lowers inhibitions and makes learning a new language both entertaining and memorable. What fell out of this was ¡Dígame!, a board game where players teach words or phrases by acting them out, and no one wins unless everyone comprehends. Still a beginner? The phrase cards have QR codes that lead to short videos of native speakers acting the phrase out for you. In addition to game design, we crafted a lightweight video to support the ¡Dígame! launch campaign, which reached over 140% of it’s intended goal.
The game soon became a consistent revenue stream for Mightyverse, earning Creative Child Game of the Year Award & the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval along the way.
