Design with an Opinion

Bill DeRouchey

Wednesday 18 April, 15:30 - 15:45

Companies presenting themselves with a casual voice is all the rage, but deep engagement with the customers you want requires one more step forward.

You have to break beyond the corporate instinct of avoiding risk and instead take a stand. Let people know why you're making your product or service. Have an opinion. Casualness doesn't resonate. Opinions resonate.

Come hear the story of how Simple’s having an opinion helped build a waiting list of over 70,000 people, how engaging with customers begins by taking a position that people can resonate with, and how strong opinions give your team the clarity necessary for making product development decisions.
