the problem
In the ever shifting and evolving media landscape, we were tasked with elevating the digital Sky Italia brand and experience globally, across their verticals - entertainment, sports and news. As a premium TV provider with quality content, changing the public’s perceptions and awareness around their digital offering was the main priority, with the end goal of dominating the Italian news market

the result
We collaborated with the different teams, on location in Milan, not only to create a modular and scalable design system, but also establish a solution framework for a multi-brand offering globally and across their three verticals.
We worked on improving storytelling, pathing, loyalty and retention, interatives, video, navigation, monetisation and personalisation. Each one of these tactics was tested, iterated and implemented in an agile process to ensure we were designing the best experience for the user based on market, region and user type.
