Insight/brief heading

Improve Return on Engagement and increase in-platform action completions by testing gamification and usability enhancements, while aligning the platform's frontend with their newly launched UI across a progressive web app (PWA) experience.

Result or How we did it heading

Over the first quarter of 2025, we executed 10 focused experiments, targeting:

  • Button prominence and copy for key tasks

  • Gamification reward screen visibility

  • Navigation clarity across devices

  • UI polish aligned with new brand elements

  • Redemption and engagement triggers for WiFi incentives

Winning tests were deployed site-wide to align with client rebuild sprints to ensure consistent exposure to optimised experiences.

  • Aimed for higher WiFi redemption and other in-platform actions by optimising the gamification flow, action prompts and onboarding stages.


  • Leveraged Convert + GA4 Audience integration to track the impact on impressions and behavioural shifts.


  • Prioritised variants that improved usability and triggered more platform engagement.
