In 2005, I led the team that built first direct to consumer e-commerce site in the housewares industry with the groundbreaking Concept to Kitchen platform which evolved from consumer research showing that potential buyers wanted to know one thing before making a purchase: What will it look like in my kitchen?.
The site was developed with three-step creative strategy for bringing the products to life. The first step walks users through the design and engineering process, explaining the thought behind each design innovation as well as calling out key features. Second, through interactive, live-action video, we simulate actual product usage scenarios. And last, we create an interactive kitchen counter top where users can place multiple products side-by-side, to scale, in a kitchen of their own design.
The site won numerous awards including The One Show Interactive Merit Award for Excellence in New Media Advertising, Art Directors Club Distinctive Merit Award, Webby Awards Official Honoree, District ADDY Awards Silver, Ad:Tech Awards Finalist, Ad:Tech Awards, People’s Choice Award Best Business-to-Consumer Marketing Website, One Show Awards Finalist, ADDY Gold Website Consumer Flash.
