Finding the Holes

Heuristic evaluations of Hideaway Report's user journeys and available content coupled with live customer interviews gave us a clear understanding of how their customers interacted with the site. We immediately identified that in the age of Google, Hideaway Report was simply giving away too much of their content.

Outcomes

Hideaway Report’s updated branding, website, and revamped digital strategy improved paid memberships 15.6x over their previous guest pass membership model. 

In addition to our core deliverable, we presented mid- to long-term recommendations highlighting opportunities for additional lifestyle content that would appeal to their target demographics,user retention projections, and revenue targets per-user.
