The Future of Creator Commerce
A collaboration between SCADpro︎︎︎ and Deloitte Digital︎︎︎, this project was undertaken by 12 students across multiple majors, and under the guidance of the Chairs of Graphic as well as UX Design. Envisioning the ‘Future of Creator Commerce’ our goal was to facilitate a better line of communication between brands and consumers.
To tackle this subject, we created strategies through visual storytelling and interactive games, utilizing the values and benefits of different social platforms to the maxium. We outlined solutions that would increase engagement and sales of a company by positioning the consumer’s need at the center of new product creation.
Needless to say, it was a ‘deloitte’ful experience!
