Approach 

  • Conducted omnichannel capability assessment to diagnose current state maturity, leading to prioritization of value accretive initiatives and foundational enablers on a digital transformation roadmap​. 
  • Performed comprehensive diagnostic across site (UI/UX), marketing channels, and marketing media mix to identify incremental value to self-fund the digital transformation​. 
  • Created future-state omnichannel pricing and promotional strategy leveraging a qualitative and quantitative approach, resulting in recommendations that balanced CX and business value​. 

Impact 

  • $30-$55M in value identified across site, channel, and media mix optimization.​
