The Brief

Winner of the ‘Creative Innovation’ award at the Really Good Emails Awards With the relaunch of BBC’s ground breaking series, they needed an eye-catching email to drive their audience to watch the trailer and a shareable email to generate buzz. The client wanted something that was interactive, informative and fun to ensure that the user journey didn’t finish when the user clicked on the primary call-to-action in the hero. We began with brainstorming how this journey will work, from the user first clicking on the email to the integrated footer. We designed wireframes, laying out the user journey, including interactivity, as well as the fallback for users whose devices might not support this. Gamification was decided on as a way to display fun facts.
