The digital pressroom of the Porsche Lifestyle Group enables an exclusive and user-friendly presentation of media and brand content
Porsche Lifestyle Group – Digital Pressroom
Online excellence for a luxury brand
How do you present the media content of a premium brand digitally without sacrificing exclusivity and aesthetics? With the Porsche Lifestyle Group's digital pressroom platform, we have created a solution that does justice to the brand values of elegance, precision and excellence.
All media and press material was prepared in an exclusive and visually appealing way and integrated into a platform that is specially tailored to the needs of journalists and media representatives. In addition to an optimised user interface, the focus was on a well thought-out UX concept that makes navigation more intuitive and enables visitors to access the desired content effortlessly.
With this approach, the platform sets new standards for digital content portals and positions the Porsche Lifestyle Group as a pioneer in the field of modern brand communication.
The 'African Forum for Utility Regulators' (AFUR) provides access to important resources and documents in the field of African energy infrastructure.
AFUR – The African Forum for Utility Regulators
Digital platform for African energy infrastructure development
How do you communicate regulatory standards for infrastructure in a growing African market, creating a digital identity that meets both technical challenges and the diverse needs of the continent?
The African Forum for Utility Regulators (AFUR) is committed to developing effective regulatory practices that strengthen Africa's infrastructure in areas such as water, energy, transport and telecommunications. Together with AFUR and GET.transform - a European technical assistance programme implemented by GIZ - we developed a modular and multilingual platform that completely redefined AFUR's digital presence.
Our work included a complete overhaul of the user experience, user interface and tech stack. Particular attention was paid to taking local bandwidth requirements into account and creating flexible expansion options. The platform not only serves as a knowledge hub, but also promotes cooperation between regulators and the exchange of best practices, for example through the development of a toolbox for African mini-grid regulations.
With this platform, AFUR not only fulfils current digital requirements, but also sets new standards for knowledge exchange in a dynamic and diverse market.
mobile.de's leasing platform is a pioneer in the digital automotive market and efficiently connects buyers and sellers of used vehicles
mobile.de - Leasing platform
E-mobility innovation for the automotive market
The automotive industry is undergoing radical change - and with it the way vehicles are sold, used and financed. As Germany's most-visited platform for used cars, mobile.de faces the challenge of remaining relevant in a changing world.
Launched in 1996 as a classified platform, mobile.de has evolved over the years into a centralised marketplace for vehicle transactions. But how do you continue to successfully bring buyers and dealers together in a time of change? Our answer: through a strategic shift and innovative features that respond both to the needs of users and to new trends such as e-mobility.
We worked together for a year on the future of the platform, strategically developing usability and user experience. The focus was always on user-centricity - with qualitatively tested concepts and quantitatively validated solutions. In addition to optimisation for data analysis and real-time information, we have taken the customer experience to the next level.
In an Incubation-as-a-Service model, we have also sustainably expanded mobile.de to include new business areas: with solutions for leasing and subscriptions, the platform has been made fit for the requirements of a new automotive world. This transformation not only supports the e-mobility movement, but also opens up new target groups and strengthens mobile.de as a pioneer in the digital vehicle market.
'What's Netz' by E.ON is an interactive grid simulation that visualises energy grids with gamification elements and is used as an installation in showrooms and at trade fairs.
e.on – What's Netz?
Innovative energy communication
The energy transition is more than just the expansion of renewable energies - it means making the energy distribution grids future-proof. This is exactly where What's Netz comes in: a digital grid simulation that explains complex grid structures in a fun and understandable way. Developed in collaboration with E.ON and RaySono, What's Netz offers interactive 3D graphics, intuitive navigation and gamification elements that make energy grids and their significance tangible.
The application is aimed at decision-makers from politics and the media, provides schools with a valuable learning tool and inspires at trade fairs and in showrooms. It makes the big picture visible - how grids work, what measures are necessary and how municipalities of all sizes can actively shape the energy transition.
Our focus was on creating an experience that not only informs, but also inspires. Based on Ray Sono's vision, we developed the UI and UX design from scratch and implemented it technically with React Three Fibre. The platform shows how technological excellence and creative collaboration create exceptional solutions that advance the industry and society.
What's Netz is an example of how digital transformation not only imparts knowledge, but also inspires people to take action - for a sustainable and better connected future.
