The Challenge

Enter: COVID-19. One month before release, the pandemic shuts cinemas around the world. How do we keep Radioactive's target audience engaged between the campaign and the film's delayed release?

The Challenge

Empathize

Through market research (focus groups) and user personas, the discovery phase allowed me to align with the business goals, evaluate test screening results, and analyze audience preferences in order to better understand what we could propose in a digital destination to get users engaged and interested.

Define

Defining the business needs made the objectives clear. Defining the target audience and context made the problem clear: Audiences need a way to stay up-to-date about a delayed release caused by a pandemic and learn more about Marie Curie's true story and the impacts of her discoveries.

Ideate

From a competitive analysis of comparable films to sketching, the ideation phase aimed to explore different avenues to achieving campaign objectives and optimal user experience. Under my supervision, an agency partner was then onboarded to bring the project to fruition.

Prototype

Lo-fi and hi-fi prototypes were produced with our partner agency at the earliest stage possible in order to socialize the concept and offer the solution to third-party distributors in other regions of the world for marketing campaign localization opportunities.

Testing & Results

Testing & Results

Due to the sensitive nature of the material and inability to share campaign materials publicly too far in advance of release, limited in-person and remote usability testing was conducted with the hi-fidelity prototype in InVision prior to handing off to the dev team.

As the history books will show, the COVID-19 pandemic lasted longer than anyone expected, and Radioactive was forced to skip a theatrical release in most territories. We therefore could not accurately benchmark the website's results against our expectations. Despite this, the website was localized and launched successfully for the UK, French, Australia, and New Zealand markets, and the website served as an engaging source of educational multimedia content that shared the importance of Marie Curie's legacy — one that continues to impact us to this day.
