Portfolio

Facebook / Diversity Hub

Unknown

In the autumn of 2018, Facebook approached Uncorked at a pivotal moment. The company was in the process of creating a platform for its 2019 Diversity Report, a widely publicized document aimed at showcasing its advancements in workforce diversity and inclusion, as well as assisting individuals from underrepresented communities in exploring tech careers. During the initial strategy development phase, the project team realized a crucial insight: it was essential to demonstrate ongoing institutional progress in diversity and inclusion while honoring employees' commitments to support each other. Establishing this trust was far more important than simply presenting impersonal demographic data that could easily be critiqued by the media and forgotten quickly. Integrating over 40 distinct groups and initiatives—both within the company and in the broader community—necessitated a clear and coherent design approach for the site. The content of the Diversity Report was blended with various Efforts and Initiatives from Facebook and partner communities, allowing visitors to easily navigate to topics of interest. A subtle design language was introduced, which would evolve and serve as supplementary material for employee stories. We also realized early on that the foundation of the site would be built on WordPress and VIP, the company's standard enterprise platform. After reviewing the VIP documentation, we discovered that we had to adapt our previous methods. Given the limited support for third-party plugins and established development workflows, it became crucial to designate specific areas for capabilities, as well as to explore continuous integration and deployment.

Tentrr / Product Evolution

Unknown

For Tentrr, securing Series A funding allowed the company to start expanding while eliminating any outdated technical and design challenges. These essential improvements positioned the business to scale effectively in the upcoming season. Tentrr’s main business model connects private landowners with campers who enjoy staying in beautiful canvas wall tents through a specially designed platform. Uncorked aimed to enhance its dual-sided marketplace and brand platforms to a similar standard. Throughout several months in mid-2018, Uncorked collaborated with the Tentrr team, acting as a temporary substitute for yet-to-be-appointed product leadership. They developed an updated design system and a more efficient dual-sided e-commerce back-end. The process began with foundational research, identifying user personas, and outlining the primary experience for both sides of the marketplace. Our strategy prioritized both speed and effectiveness. To strengthen Tentrr’s design framework, Uncorked created Style Tiles that established a consistent brand behavior and tone, along with a design pattern library. It was essential to equip Tentrr with tools they could adopt, manage, and grow with over time. The studio refined Tentrr’s product roadmap and e-commerce structure to align with the needs and dynamics of its key stakeholders. Alongside Tentrr's engineering team, Uncorked's developers constructed an architecture designed to evolve with the company and provide valuable business insights during the journey.

Diageo / Innovation Strategy

Unknown

For Diageo, the largest spirits manufacturer globally, innovation primarily occurs through its products. Enhancing the liquids, formats, and packaging of its spirits fuels business growth. Alongside its advancements in product innovation and mergers and acquisitions, Diageo is also enhancing its digital capabilities, partnerships, and processes across its brand portfolio. In 2017, the company collaborated with Uncorked to expand these capabilities. Uncorked serves as an innovation strategy partner for Diageo’s Culture & Partnerships group, assisting in the evaluation, testing, refinement, and analysis of data from startup collaborations while keeping an eye on the evolving spirits market for potential competitive advantages for Diageo and its brands. A significant startup partnership can influence various aspects of Diageo’s operations, from optimizing supply chains and adapting to consumer trends to developing new consumption metrics and enhancing marketing strategies. Uncorked's role is to help the Culture & Partnerships team interpret data from these emerging partnerships within the context of overarching brand and business strategies. "Uncorked provided us with a foundation and framework to explore how technology can shape the future of consumer engagement for our brands. As marketers of iconic spirits, we will keep experimenting with new technologies and scaling up successful initiatives." - Devin Nagy, Director of Technology and Emerging Platforms, Diageo.
