TIMELINE
Sept. - Dec., 2023 (Three months)
Research
This was a three month project with a team of three. Our initial charge was to analyze Fluid’s distinctive assets through in-depth interviews, storyboarding, MoSCW analysis, business modeling, and value propositioning. We also did a competitive analysis, capturing their current positioning and brand value.
Research goals:
- Understand current customer behavior and pain points
- Define Fluid’s current business model and identify disctinctive assets
- Determine Fluid’s standards and limitations
- Find opportunities to reach potential clients

Opportunity areas
From this research, we identified two opportunity areas:
- New customer segment: physically fit 25-45 year olds, or “Movement millenials”
- Digital solutions for corrective exercise

New business strategy
Prototyping, validating, and derisking
Refining ideas and feedback with Fluid, we identified our highest stakes assumption:
Digital connection is less valuable than in person corrective exercise.
We verified this assumption by creating and testing an ad campaign on Fluid’s social channels.

Results
We ran the campaign for (?) hours. Results showed:
Verifiying interest in remote corrective exercise experiences with “Movement millenials,” which led to our final business recommendations and road map.
We ran the campaign for (?) hours. Results showed:
- 135 total clicks (58% from 25-45yo)

Verifiying interest in remote corrective exercise experiences with “Movement millenials,” which led to our final business recommendations and road map.


Survey results. Significant finding: 88.6% male respondents
Final strategy for longterm growth:
- We introduced, “Form by Fluid” business strategy to Fluid which prioritized capturing “Movement millenials.” To do this, we recommended Fluid refresh their UX and messaging and mocked up examples.
- To close more leads, we recommended streamlining point of sale and digital customer experience.
- Finally, we recommended Fluid double down on marketing to entice and sustain new users. One way to gain a larger following is to leverage Ryan’s subject matter expertise and position him as the world’s #1 Movement expert

Key Learnings
Stortelling, storytelling, storytelling.
This is one of the biggest values I bring to teams, but it was my biggest challenge on this project. I learned the value of communicating story internally and the impact it makes when everyone is on the same page about the story we develop and how we deliver it to our client.
Setting expectations is key.
Project roles were communicated at the start, but our challenge was sticking to our roles. In the beginning of any project it is imperative to ground the team in working styles and hold each other accountable.
Difficult conversations.
Communication and empathy is another key asset I bring to teams. Feedback and mid-project peer reviews are essential in team working dynamics, productivity, and peace of mind.
Belief in the company.
When I truly believe in a company’s mission and vision, I can make a greater impact by empathizing and connecting with a company’s “Why” and their long term goals.
