The Interakt Solution

In-depth understanding of Etisalat's business, audiences, and competitive challenges

In-depth understanding of Etisalat's business, audiences, and competitive challenges

To understand and address Etisalat's complex brand and business objectives, Interakt conducted a discovery study across more than 50 business divisions that serve both personal and business audiences. Incorporating user-focused research and competitive analysis, we refined and clearly articulated Etisalat's core brand promise, value proposition, and messaging across all products, services, and audience segments.

Delivering the cohesive value proposition in multiple languages

Interakt conceptualized, designed, and deployed a responsive, state-of-the-art, bi-lingual (English and Arabic) website with a completely re-architected structure. The site succeeded in delivering a cohesive brand image while offering highly relevant content to distinctly different audience segments—the existing customer base and prospects for both personal and business services.

Using the Vignette platform for content management, Interakt simplified content creation and updates and created an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface. The site's clear design and interactive product and service demos enable Etisalat customers to get up to speed quickly on advanced features such as online shopping, bill payment, rewards, and redemptions.

Branded for success. Tested for usability.

Rather than serving simply as an informational platform, the new site provides high levels of interactivity, usability, and functionality, completely shifting and elevating users' perception of Etisalat as a clearly branded, customer-focused provider. Multidimensional usability studies with more than 200 participants across the UAE confirmed that the new site works as it was intended to.
