BOLD App
‘BOLD - how to be brave in business and win’ is the story of how 14 brands
have challenged conventional thinking in their markets. The book is
accompanied by a free iPad app. The app, in particular, allows the reader to
analyse and compare their own brand with those studied in the book.
More significantly the free, premium content included in the app serves to
promote the book while also enabling readers to unlock individually
recommended chapters that can be purchased and read from within the app.
In addition the reader can order a hard copy of the book directly, whilst being
able to sign up for relevant courses or events; thereby elevating the process
into a truly engaging and social experience.
Wild Dog’s creative approach was to embrace fully the project title and opt for
an appropriate colour palette, typographical and graphical icon interface that
complemented the BOLD brand vision. It was crucial that the user believed in
the message based platform, if they were going to be successfully drawn into
and engage with the message. The iPad platform proved a wonderful format
and accommodating space in which to achieve this process.
Ultimately most dynamic data is in essence a search/results equation.
Spacebar’s aim and brief was to transform content into an exciting experience
online. Therefore the very process of the reader’s engagement worked as a
design advantage. By taking the Q and A elements, one that we are all
familiar with from self-help books & magazines, we were able to turn the
publication into a rich personal and interactive activity. A process which will
hopefully get people talking and sharing with each other.
