Designing an Interactive Campaign
Reporting Dashboard
Brief
Our customers (financial institutions) run marketing campaigns for their cardholders by sending them offers where they can earn additional points or cash back. At the time we were sending out reports on these campaigns via spreadsheets and presentation decks.
Our vision was a self service dashboard that visualized the impact of campaigns.
