IN ACTION
IN ACTION - BrewDog
BrewDog.
Creating personalised, compelling omnichannel experiences from bar to browser.
BrewDog is the UK’s fastest growing drinks company, known for its rebellious streak. Achieving the world’s highest equity crowdfunding raise in 2018, BrewDog is now prioritising sustainability over anarchy and building a reputation for being the de facto digital leader in its industry.
Always ‘getting there first’ and surprising the market is a massive undertaking. Whilst continuously innovating at pace, BrewDog wanted to create and embed a single customer view across multiple apps and platforms, enhancing their ability to influence and track buying behaviours. We designed and built a new centralised retail application that would give BrewDog the ability to track customer interactions across different contexts, from ordering a beer and a burger at a table in a BrewDog bar to home delivery.

V2-VALUE-PROP_#3_Application Development
Developing digital products.
An end-to-end journey from transformational thinking to steady-state operations.
Product development is a science and an art. We build cross-functional, highly collaborative teams that design, build and run the digital assets that drive value for your business. We work with you to design and build elegant applications, from solution strategy to Proof of Concept (PoCs), minimum viable products (MVPs), iterative product development and support. We prioritise user research and experience design in our planning and take an agile, flexible approach to delivery.
When it comes to your problem domain, we don’t do big discovery or write long reports. We are scientists, engineers and creatives focused on helping you get enough insight to inform the next right product decision for your business. We work with you to develop a shared definition of success and a set of associated metrics.
Every product is different. Before we can make choices about the technologies, tools and components we use, we work with you to understand options and trade-offs, opportunities and likely change vectors.
