A Superbowl CaMPAIGN


A Superbowl CaMPAIGN



Project Overview


In a creative collaboration with Wieden + Kennedy and Jeff Bridges, this project aimed to promote the charity campaign No Kid Hungry by selling Jeff Bridges' custom “sleeping tapes.” The campaign highlighted the versatility of Squarespace by turning the album's website into an online shop where visitors could purchase vinyl, cassettes, and digital downloads. The campaign connected viewers from a Super Bowl ad directly to the website through their devices, facilitating donations in exchange for the sleeping tapes.

My Role


As a UX Designer, I was responsible for streamlining the dual-screen experience and ensuring seamless transitions across all devices, whether on computers, phones, or tablets. My role involved collaborating with a large creative team, reviewing research materials, and liaising with stakeholders to create wireframes and mock-ups, which were carefully annotated for developers and stakeholders.




Solutions and Deliverables

The final product was a decentralized app that allowed users to receive and exchange a basic income in Circles currency. Key features included:

  • A user-friendly interface designed from extensive user research.

  • Integration with both physical and digital marketplaces.

  • Robust security and scalability to handle rapid growth.




Problem Statement


The primary challenge was to design a user experience that seamlessly connected viewers from a television ad to their devices, allowing them to engage with the charity drive and purchase Jeff Bridges' sleeping tapes without friction. This required a cohesive design that ensured smooth transitions across multiple platforms and entry points.

Research and Insights


The project began with an in-depth review of user behaviors and expectations, particularly how users interact with dual-screen experiences. Key research activities included:

  • Comparative Analysis: Examined similar charity drives and dual-screen experiences to identify best practices and potential pitfalls.

  • User Behavior Analysis: Analyzed user interaction data to understand how users navigate between screens and make online purchases.


Design Process

  1. Design Facilitation: Participated in workshops to brainstorm and refine design concepts that would resonate with users while fulfilling the campaign’s objectives.

  2. Wireframes and Mock-ups: Developed detailed wireframes and mock-ups that visualized the user journey across different devices. These were annotated to ensure developers understood the design's intent and functionality.

  3. User Testing: Conducted iterative user testing to identify and fix any friction points in the user journey, ensuring a smooth transition from the ad to the online shop.

  4. Stakeholder Communication: Acted as the lead communicator with Chase, presenting designs, gathering feedback, and making necessary adjustments to meet stakeholder expectations



Impact and Metrics

  • Increased Engagement: The seamless dual-screen experience led to high user engagement, with a significant number of viewers transitioning from the ad to the website to make donations.

  • Positive User Feedback: Users reported an intuitive and enjoyable experience, with minimal friction when navigating between their devices and the website.

  • Industry Recognition: The project won a Graphite Pencil Award, and was short listed at the Cannes Festival, highlighting outstanding achievement in design and execution.
