Clime
2022-2024THE PROJECT
Continue producing marketing creative that responds to peak season weather events (hurricanes and inclement weather), while planning a rebrand and product expansion that would evolve the app’s market positioning.
SCOPE
Plan a product expansion leveraging our success during severe weather to embed Clime more deeply into users’ day-to-day. Introduce streamlined navigation and improved UX for core map features while moving towards our north star brand vision. We will also create flywheels that can drive referral acquisition and increase daily usage through community-oriented features - this will hinge upon our ability to capture personal information from users and reflect that back into the product experience.
To accomplish this we will organize around three primary investment opportunities to drive Clime’s OKRs:
- Own severe weather
- Find the community hook
- Crack daily use
Our objective was to turn Clime into a crowdsourced weather app with real time data, community engagement, and a rich database that helps users during extreme weather events occurring across the globe.
SOLVE
We aimed to move the marketing and advertising creative storytelling towards these pillars, while simultaneously working towards a complete rebrand to evolve the app positioning as the Product experience evolved.
In order to carve out a niche in a busy product category (weather) my brand team executed critical competitor analysis as well as surveyed key stakeholders to better understand the market fit we were aiming for in the future state. The top half of the visuals shown here represented how we shifted the marketing creative during the ‘bridge’ period and the second half of the portfolio showcases the brand presentations that were shown internally to help stakeholders align on the vision and understand the target audience through user entry-points to the product and their journey.
