Sky Sports

In a team of six, we completed a high-fidelity prototype of our solution, FanConnect, over a six-week design sprint. This cross-platform digital solution is designed to enrich the live football match viewing experience for current SkySport users and new football fans through engagement driven by customisation, and gamification.

My Role:

My Role:

I was responsible for our user research plan and strategy. Activities I undertook included recruiting qualifying participants and conducting semi-structured interviews and user tests.

My key contribution to the ideation phase was the phone pairing function inspired by MS Teams and the gamification concept BingGoal.

Personal Challenges:

Personal Challenges:

Given my limited prior experience with football, I initially struggled to contribute effectively to ideation as I couldn’t fully empathise with the target audience. However, by conducting extensive secondary research and immersing myself in the live match environment and experience through ethnography, I significantly deepened my understanding of the sport.
