Edinburgh, 26 — 28 September 2013

One Platform, 21 Countries, 6 Disciplines — A Case Study in Creative Collaboration

Designing a responsive digital platform for a brand with a presence in 21 markets across Europe is a major undertaking. This joint case study from a content strategist and a user experience designer will show how working collaboratively - as part of an Agile development process - helped them create a platform built to centralise brand and product storytelling, while still allowing local content flexibility. Expect an in-depth assessment of the tools, processes and deliverables used, and an honest look at some of the pitfalls experienced along the way.

About EuroIA

Over the past nine years, we have broken down cultural barriers, initiated dozens of conferences across Europe, and forged careers. We are proud of our accomplishments, but we know we can achieve even more.

Today, our focus is on breaking down global barriers and sharing information far beyond European borders. This is why our programme now features presentations from the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific Rim.

Yet we remain European. So, what is “Europe”? In terms of geography, we’re east of Greenland, west of Moscow, south of the Artic, and north of the Mediterranean. But the geography is secondary. “Europe” is more a state of mind than an area on a map. But that doesn’t make it less distinct.

Learn. Share. Network. That is what we help you do. And we hope to see you in Edinburgh.
