Challenges:
They challenged us to redesign and strategically plan an exceptional user-experience for all Kerzner properties. This included transforming key processes, competencies and models through an intelligent mix of digital technologies.
- Design and UX strategy must be simple and easy to use for internal colleagues

Strategy:
To execute on the identified challenge we undertook a series of key phases, from UX Design, Information Architecture and content planning. This involved one month of discovery workshops with 200+ key stakeholders in all departments across all resorts.
We developed UX design and information architecture that met the needs identified while positioning the brand for future innovations. This enabled us to create UX designs leveraging pixel-perfect components, offering dynamic, personalised journeys featuring rich content supported by vivid imagery.

Results:
- Each property maintains a bespoke, elevated feel that is in line with each audience and brand, using relevant content, rich personalisation and clear messaging, advancing
guests down key journeys while maintaining a global template structure
- As well as being visually stunning, the designs bring key functionality to the fore across all
devices, showing measurable improvement in engagement, bookings, loyalty and purchase across all properties
We utilised our experience designing and building global transactional brand sites in the luxury market to set a new standard for the luxury industry, providing UX and creative leadership, accountability and polish to provide cutting-edge global hospitality sites for Kerzner International.
