Lasting and reusable

-
DISCOVERY AND RESEARCH
It takes the average traveler 9.5 Internet sessions to book a vacation, during which they visit 22 different sites.
-
DEFINING OPPORTUNITY
No single site offers: Inspiration, Comparison, Transaction and Itinerary Management (for Members or from Chase)
-
STRATEGY AND IDEATION
Offer travelers a vastly simplified travel planning experience at all steps in the travel lifecycle, focusing specifically on integrated itinerary, integrated checkout, and integrated servicing.
-
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP AND CONSENSUS
Provide guidance, clarity, and value to help stakeholders and leadership align on strategies and concepts.
-
PROTOTYPE AND TEST
As soon as we had an execution to validate, we began experiencing it in every way possible. We brought in Chase cardmembers to provide feedback on both concepts and designed experiences (user testing).
