Research Project Work (90%)

• Product mockups - design product images and mockups according to the given MVP-brand or client inputs for different testing variants
  
  
• Ad creatives - create 2D and 3D ad assets  reflective of each testing variant. These ads communicate the value proposition of the product and are used to attract the target audience to the landing pages via social or search ads.
  
  
• Landing pages - design and technically implement landing pages using the Horizon interface or external landing page editors (e.g. Unbounce) that integrate with our tool based on industry-specific templates, and optimise these templates over time.

• Communication & design advocacy - as part of our client services & research consulting team, you occasionally take part in client meetings and provide design leadership around the product idea to be tested. Your work will steer all parts of the landing page test: ads, landing pages, brand design, digital customer journeys.
