SPOT Interactive workshop: Creating a meaningful user journey

When trying to understand our users or customers, we tend to paint a rosy picture of their attitude towards our offerings and the quality of the experience we provide. Mapping customer/user journeys is a great way of identifying the potential of better experiences. But, how do we map the journey without making it into a fairytale?

 
In this workshop you will be introduced to a new type of journey mapping and its potential for describing the complexity of rational and emotional values in user/customer experience.
 
We will introduce a protagonist and show you how drama and other effects of storytelling will make sure that journeys become more realistic, communicable and thereby effective.
Also, we will show how the role of the storyteller underlines the fact, that customer journeys are rather an array of motives, conflicts and crossroads than a linear journey of brand-attraction and loyal consumption.
 
Journey mapping is meant to make your communication more relevant and effective. This workshop will show you how to do that well!

For whom

Digital content creators, people within advertising, communication and marketing, brand managers, innovation managers, developers and everybody interested in how you design and develop interactive media experiences and reach new audiences.
