Week Eight - Friday

Sam - Today's studio began in the Pit with a lecture from Elizabeth Goodwin and then moved up to studio. We sat down and discussed what we needed to do to start making some real progress and get to more prototyping and testing stages. Katie worked on the logo (with Lauren and I giving our input each time she had something new to show us) until we finally reached something we could all agree on! Lauren worked on brainstorming for our video and I worked on a write up about us at the same time.
Here's the write up:

Who we are:

Project Boost is a start-up facilitation company.

We promote improved workplace productivity and culture through the engagement of employees’ in monthly social activities.

As the new kids on the block, our goal is to engage employers with our fun and simple approach. 

What we do:

As facilitators, each month we come to our Project Boost businesses with a selection of potential activities. It is then over to them to let us know which activity they would like to participate in for that month. We handle all the arrangements for planning and booking the event and then forward these details through to the employer, so that all they have to do is get themselves and their employees’ to come along.

These activities are available to all Project Boost businesses, which creates not only inner workplace interactions, but also interactions across a diverse range of businesses.

After the end of each financial year (April) is the annual highlight, the “Amazing Race”. This involves each businesses competing together as a team against other businesses within Project Boost.

The logistics:

We have a base fee of $200 a month, with event costs being arranged by quote. Invoices are sent out monthly and can also be viewed on their account page on the website.

Final Logo:

Sam - we then sat down to chat with Jason again about our progress/development. He really liked the package idea and that we had identified that our point of difference was our focus on well-being and our young, fun, creative approach. He mentioned that we needed to make the packaging an experience and mentioned the phone holograms which I have seen before - I showed these to the girls and we were really interested in the idea of trying this. If we were do put these in the boxes this would then give us an excuse to come back as we would need to collect the device/iPad.

We concluded the day each with homework tasks:

Sam - box mock ups

Lauren - hologram video test

Katie - website mock ups
