Phase Two · The Story

The Narrative

Background

A QSR programme that has to merchandise an offer calendar without the comms feeling like a permanent discount blast.

Challenge

Carry brand fidelity into the highest-cadence surfaces a customer touches — web, app, push, email — without losing the offer-driven mechanics underneath.

Opportunity

Design the web, the lifecycle and the app comms as one connected programme, not three stacks of one-offs.

Approach

Lead with the offer architecture, then design every surface — web hero modules, iPad merchandising, app push and lifecycle email — inside one merchandising system.

The Big Idea

One programme,
every surface.

Web, iPad and app push designed as a single connected programme — so the rewards cadence reads as one brand at every touchpoint.

Programme — Web, App, Push
Subway — web hero
Web — the start of the programme.
Subway — iPad merchandising
iPad — merchandising in context.
Subway — email programme
Lifecycle — the email programme.
Subway — double points app push
Push — double-points app notification.
Subway — device detail
Device detail — clean at small size.
Design

Modules engineered for QSR cadence — generous offer real estate, clean type, fast scan, friendly on both desktop and the iPad in a customer's hand.

Programme

Web, iPad and app push wired into one merchandising calendar so the rewards programme reads as one brand at every step.
