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.

Role

UX, UI, User Interviews, Problem Exploration

Team

Visual Designer, 2 UX Designers, Copywriter, 1 Developer

Timeline

8 weeks for design including usability

Goal: Redesign the tool to make it a self serve tool, empowering our users to make marketing decisions without waiting on custom analytics requests. An added benefit would allow more frequent access to reporting, allowing them to shift strategies more frequently to optimize for their goals at more granular level.

User
Interviews

We talked to financial institutions of various sizes to better understand their current reporting experience and how it fits into the larger picture.

Initial
Wires

We created wires of the proposed interactions and data visualizations to present to the internal team, get their feedback and iterate.

We developed a high fidelity interactive prototype to ensure users could interact with the graphs and interpret them.
