Context

Discotext had good traction but was missing clear direction. Their B2C app had high drop-off rates, the B2B tool was frustrating to use, and the brand lacked the energy needed for nightlife. We stepped in to rethink both platforms, rebuild trust, and create a bold experience that genuinely spoke to their audience.

What’s been done?

We took everything back to basics. Starting with a full brand and product audit, we pinpointed key issues in usability, alignment, and performance. Then we worked across three critical areas:

01

Brand Strategy

We ran focused workshops to define voice, values, and audience. Our goal was creating a bold, modern brand that feels at home in nightlife while working effectively across both B2C and B2B contexts. It needed to be clear, expressive, and instantly recognizable in crowded spaces.

02

Brand Design

We ran focused workshops to define voice, values, and audience. Our goal was creating a bold, modern brand that feels at home in nightlife while working effectively across both B2C and B2B contexts. It needed to be clear, expressive, and instantly recognizable in crowded spaces.

03

Product Design

We audited both apps, mapped key user flows, and spoke directly with users. The B2B tool was clunky and slow and the B2C app was cluttered and underperforming when users wanted simplicity. We rebuilt both around actual tasks to improve speed, clarity, and engagement.

Visual Identity

We designed a sharp system with high-contrast elements that stand out in dark club environments. For the B2C app, we used a design that wouldn't distract in dim lighting, while the B2B platform features a calmer palette that helps busy staff work quickly and accurately.

Website Redesign

The website needed to speak to both venue owners and party-goers. For venues, we highlighted how Discotext boosts engagement and simplifies management. For consumers, we created a fast, simple experience that feels exciting. Every element supports conversions for both audiences.

Redesigning the End-to-End User Experience

We started with a full UI/UX audit of the product ecosystem, covering both the B2C shoutout app and the B2B management platform. This was followed by workshops to explore user behaviors, business needs, and product challenges. These sessions aligned stakeholders, clarified user journeys, and uncovered key usability issues, setting the foundation for targeted design improvements.

There were a few bumps in the road:

01

Inefficient and Clunky B2B Management App

Venue staff struggled with poor navigation, unclear workflows, and inconsistent interface patterns that made everyday tasks frustrating during busy nights.

02

High Drop-off in the B2C Shoutout App

The consumer app had a cluttered interface and slow performance, causing users to abandon before completing key actions like sending shoutouts or making payments.

03

Misalignment Between User Needs and Business Goals

Neither platform clearly understood who it was serving, resulting in inconsistent journeys, friction at critical points, and a product that wasn't fully supporting the business model.

Here’s how we smoothed things out:

01

Streamlined B2B Management Tool Workflow and Navigation

After conducting 13 user interviews and a full audit, we redesigned the app around real-world staff needs. We restructured navigation based on actual workflows, simplified complex processes, and improved clarity throughout the interface.

02

Simplified and Redesigned B2C Experience

We rebuilt the shoutout experience from scratch with a faster, cleaner interface optimized for mobile use in dark venues. From QR code scanning to payment completion, every step became quick and intuitive.

03

Aligned Business Goals with User Expectations

Through stakeholder workshops and user interviews, we identified shared priorities that helped us rebuild both apps with a clear connection between product experience and business value.
