Founded by Roger Wade, BOXPARK, the world’s first pop-up mall, redefined urban retail and leisure with its innovative use of refitted shipping containers.

Starting in Shoreditch in 2011, it expanded its unique footprint to Croydon in 2016 and Wembley in 2018, with plans to grow further both in the UK and internationally. This pioneering approach combines dynamic food and retail spaces to create vibrant, community-focused environments, setting the stage for BOXPARK’s digital transformation in partnership with our agency.

Redefining Digital Strategy Amidst a Shifting Landscape

The rapid evolution of retail necessitated a digital shift that mirrored BOXPARK’s physical innovation. As traditional retail experiences face new challenges, our collaboration aimed to transform BOXPARK’s digital landscape to enhance its consumer interactions across both physical and digital realms. We streamlined their digital presence to ensure it was as forward-thinking as their physical locations, focusing on a seamless, integrated customer experience that bridges the gap between online browsing and in-park engagement.

Creating a Cohesive Digital Experience

Our goal was to simplify BOXPARK’s expansive digital ecosystem, which was as eclectic and vibrant as its physical counterpart but suffered from outdated UX. By refining their website’s architecture, we reduced complexity and made it more intuitive for users to navigate. We aligned the digital experience closely with the physical experience, ensuring that each touchpoint was an extension of the other, offering a unified brand journey.

The Outcome: A Revitalised Online Presence

The new digital platform now effectively communicates BOXPARK’s unique brand ethos, emphasising their role as a community hub and a trendsetter in the retail and dining industry. It enhances user engagement by making information more accessible and interactions more fluid, thus supporting the hybrid nature of modern retail. This transformation not only elevates the user experience but also positions BOXPARK to thrive in a competitive digital landscape.

At MAKE, we’re pioneering the next wave of digital innovation where AI is not a distant promise—it’s a present-day tool that’s reshaping the customer experience (CX). Our insights delve into the practical application of AI, demonstrating its immediate impact on the digital strategies of tomorrow.

1. Crafting Tailored Interactions

AI’s ability to analyse and learn from customer behaviour is revolutionising the way we approach segmentation. By embracing AI, businesses can tailor their interactions to match the nuanced preferences of their customer base, delivering a CX that’s as individualised as it is impactful.

Actionable Insight: Explore AI-driven tools that offer deep learning capabilities for nuanced customer profiling and behavioural predictions.

2. Anticipating Needs with Predictive Analysis

Predictive analysis is not just about foreseeing the future; it’s about creating it. AI equips us with the foresight to craft strategies that align with emerging customer behaviours, ensuring that your brand is always a step ahead.

Actionable Insight: Integrate predictive modelling into your business intelligence tools to enhance your forecasting capabilities.

3. Adapting Prices Intelligently

The art of pricing in the digital economy is a dynamic dance of supply, demand, and customer expectation. AI enables an adaptive approach, ensuring that your pricing strategies are as agile as the market itself.

Actionable Insight: Look into AI solutions that can perform real-time market analysis for dynamic pricing adjustments.

4. Deciphering Sentiments in Feedback

AI-driven sentiment analysis provides a lens through which we can understand the emotional undercurrents of customer feedback. This understanding allows businesses to respond with empathy and precision.

Actionable Insight: Utilise advanced sentiment analysis software to gain a comprehensive view of customer emotions and opinions.

5. Content That Resonates on a Personal Level

AI doesn’t just personalise; it resonates. It allows us to craft content that speaks directly to the user, creating a connection that goes beyond the screen.

Actionable Insight: Implement content management systems with AI capabilities to deliver content that adapts in real-time to user engagement.

6. Visual Content with Deeper Insights

In an age where imagery speaks volumes, AI’s image recognition can parse visual data to uncover trends and preferences, enhancing user interactions with visual intelligence.

Actionable Insight: Employ visual recognition technology to fine-tune your visual content strategy and user experience.

7. Chatbots with a Human Touch

The evolution of chatbots into intelligent conversational agents represents a leap forward in customer service, providing instantaneous, context-aware support.

Actionable Insight: Adopt NLP-driven chatbot solutions that can provide a seamless conversational experience for your customers.

8. Embracing the Voice Search Revolution

As voice search becomes ubiquitous, optimising for it is not just about staying relevant—it’s about being heard. AI can ensure your brand’s voice resonates clearly in the new era of search.

Actionable Insight: Invest in AI-enhanced SEO strategies that are tailored for voice search optimisation.


Conclusion:

AI is the compass guiding us towards a more personalised, predictive, and perceptive digital future. At MAKE, we leverage AI to augment—not replace—the human connection, ensuring that our digital solutions are as intuitive as they are innovative. Let’s reframe the narrative of CX with AI as our ally, crafting experiences that are not just smart, but also inherently human.

Embarking on an inspiring challenge in Covent Garden’s lively epicenter, our team was tasked with the ambitious goal to design, orchestrate, and bring to life a sequence of wellness events at The Yards. Our aim was to create a magnetic pull, uniting the local community and amplifying engagement for our esteemed clients, Knight Frank & CBRE, in a way that truly reflected the dynamic spirit of the locale.

Strategising for Success

Our journey began with a clear vision: to craft events that would resonate with the ethos of The Yards and meet the high expectations of Knight Frank & CBRE. Here’s how we approached the project:

  • Timing is Everything: We pinpointed key dates such as National Stress Awareness Month and International Self Care Day to capitalise on built-in public interest.
  • Building the Right Partnerships: By tapping into our network, we curated a host of partnerships with prominent wellness brands and influencers, adding credibility and allure to the events.
  • Designing Immersive Experiences: We meticulously planned each event to offer a unique and engaging experience, from rooftop yoga sessions to interactive content creation opportunities.
  • Executing a Multi-Channel Campaign: Through social media, influencer engagement, and newsletters, we created a buzz around the events, spearheaded by an engaging social media giveaway.

Pitching Our Master Plan

Presenting our strategy to Knight Frank & CBRE, we outlined:

  • The Concept: A series of events aimed at transforming The Yards into a wellspring of wellness and community spirit.
  • The Engagement Plan: We detailed how we’d captivate the audience at every touchpoint, maintaining engagement long after the events concluded.
  • The Operational Details: Our readiness to handle all aspects of the event lifecycle showcased our full-service capabilities.

The Results That Spoke Volumes

The results of our strategic and creative efforts were clear:

  • Skyrocketing Engagement: A remarkable 119% increase in engagements across the board for Knight Frank & CBRE.
  • Elevated Brand Awareness: The Yards enjoyed a surge in social impressions, with a 120% uptick for the Stress Release Mini Retreat.
  • Content as a Lasting Legacy: The professional photography and videography captured not only served as a promotional tool but also brought the events to life for an online audience.

Reflecting on this campaign, it’s evident that our expertise in digital strategy and event planning can lead to tangible results. For Knight Frank & CBRE, the wellness event series at The Yards was more than just a success—it was a transformative initiative that redefined the potential of community-focused events in a retail space.

Last week was a big week in social media land, with a new contender emerging to challenge Twitter for its text-based throne.

Threads, the social app launched by Meta, has shot to approximately 100 million active users within its first week—not too shabby when you compare it to Twitter’s current user base of around 450 million. The rise of Threads has Twitter quaking, especially since they’ve been experiencing a decline in popularity long before Elon Musk’s involvement, plus then the damage Musk caused once he did get his hands on it.

Threads off to a strong start
Threads has not only received a huge amount of positive hype since its launch, but has the influx of users to match, capturing the attention of social media users worldwide. The platform’s ability to seamlessly integrate with existing Instagram accounts, sparing users the daunting task of building a following from scratch, has proven to be a winning strategy. Threads’ popularity is a clear sign that it appeals not only to dissatisfied Twitter users seeking an alternative but also to those who never really understood what the big deal was around the existing microblogging giant.

Zuckerberg jumps at the opportunity
While Twitter has long been at the top of the food chain when it comes to text-based social media platforms, its decline began before Elon Musk’s involvement and has only worsened since his takeover. The overall opinion of Twitter has been gradually diminishing, with users expressing concerns about brand safety, the platform’s ability to curb misinformation, and the perceived lack of innovative features. Musk’s involvement has further exacerbated these challenges, resulting in a continued erosion of public sentiment towards Twitter, *enter Zuckerberg.*

Worried that your content strategy is now hanging by a thread? Do not worry.
For brands seeking an early advantage, Threads presents a promising opportunity. Establishing a presence on Threads by claiming their brand handle, which mirrors their Instagram handle, is a strategic move that extends reach and allows for seamless cross-platform engagement. Brands already implementing successful content strategies on Twitter can easily adapt their approach to Threads, leveraging the platform’s text-based nature to deliver witty, engaging, and relatable content.

One of the significant advantages of Threads over Twitter is its potential to offer a more brand-safe environment. With increased control over content and improved moderation tools, Threads has the ability to protect brands from the pitfalls associated with ad placements in contentious contexts. This heightened brand safety, coupled with the rapid user growth, positions Threads as an enticing prospect for advertisers looking to maximise reach without compromising reputation.

Looking Ahead…
As Threads continues to gain traction and attract an ever-expanding user base, it poses a real threat to Twitter’s market dominance. With its intuitive integration with Instagram and the promise of a safer environment, Threads has tapped into the collective dissatisfaction surrounding Twitter’s decline. However, the future remains uncertain, and whether Threads can sustain its momentum and entice users to abandon Twitter entirely is yet to be seen. The social media landscape is in flux, and brands must carefully navigate these changes to remain connected with their target audience.

With approximately 100 million active users achieved in under a week, Threads has unquestionably made a resounding entrance into the social media arena. Twitter’s woes extend far beyond Elon Musk’s involvement, and the rise of Threads has only underscored the platform’s struggles. Brands should consider embracing Threads as a promising alternative, utilising its unique features to forge meaningful connections with users. As the battle for social media supremacy intensifies, it is crucial for brands to adapt, innovate, and align with platforms that align with their values and provide an avenue for growth.
