User needs
I started my research as a potential buyer so I tried to understand everything users need to know before buying a refrigerator.

Users journey

When the team started to draw the journey, we gathered some strategists and designers to discuss.
We have gone from a linear journey to a more complex model: The Shopping funnel transformed into a cycle where each moment is worth more.
To do that we divided the journey into four key moments and created a perspective about what we wanted to achieve.

Personas
Personas
Many opportunities were discovered in this step. The most important was the necessity to create a service that will support consumers in every step of the funnel, even in physical stores.
Within a general view of the user's journey, I started to understand Brastemp consumers. By analyzing the collected data and some profiles sent by the client, I got into three major profiles.
- Luxury and decoration
- Open House
- Loyal
Then I started to draw a content strategy:
setting communication tone, defining approaches and segmenting strategy for each cluster.
Below you can see the “Luxury and decoration” persona:

After the definition of content and personas, I started the sitemap knowing that my main challenge was to unify the e-commerce and the institutional portal into a unique website. Below you can see how the structures of both websites were and how we proposed the new version.
How it was
When we started the project Brastemp had two different websites.
After the definition of content and personas, I started the sitemap knowing that my main challenge was to unify the
e-commerce and the institutional portal.

As usual, before the wireframes, I started some sketches. On the concept sketch, I’ve created a huge structure setting rules and orienting the content according to users’ needs.

As the principal page of the portal, the relevance was Huge. So I decided to represent "the consumer dream kitchen" on their first access. To do this, we used audience strategy by crossing personas profile, Brastemp proprietary information, and third party data.

Chatbot - GAB
We evolved "Brastemp consultant service" to a chatbot.
Acting as an assistant during pre and post-purchase and becoming a permanent CRM system.
The biggest difference between any other chatbot is that GAB also is present in physical stores. Its presence will be used in partnership with the main retailers and assist buying in physical stores.
