About Groop Skool

2

Groop Skool is a labor of love. It’s the culmination of my 15 years in web design. As a

young web designer at Razorfish it became quickly apparent that what I loved to do was to nurture up and coming talent, and share my experience with them. Even earlier

as a computer lab assistant at Art Center College of Design I would spend hours

helping not only with technical problems but teaching and sharing with students

struggling with their assignments. As Chief Visionary at The Groop, the digital agency I

co-founded in 2001 I take great joy in helping facilitate business opportunities and

solve the business challenges that our clients face.

In 2008 I created a seminar and workshop series called Evil Businessman. Tongue in

cheek title aside my goal was to teach creative entrepreneurs the basics of creating

businesses online. At the core of the curriculum was the idea that one of the biggest obstacles in executing digital businesses was the different of languages spoken by the

disciplines involved. The curriculum helps simplify digital by making it visual and

interactive. In mid 2009 I was struggling to figure out how to make what The Groop did

more streamlined and less painful. Late one afternoon, as I walked down a flowery path

in the corn fields park in downtown Los Angeles it suddenly struck me that the answer

was the same. That language was also the main obstacle.

This is why I am excited to share with you the tools that we created to help you align

these different interests and help you keep your projects on track. My promise to you is

that your digital projects don’t have to be as difficult as they are today and that if you use even one of the tools we are sharing with you it will make a marked impact. We are

excited to help you simplify digital.

Brand Driven Design

Three factors determine the direction your website and sales platform should take. The first factor is your brand: Who are you? What do people say about you? Everything from what type of content to color to interaction style depends on who you are.

The second factor is your goal: What goals are you trying to achieve with your initiative? Do you want to increase online sales? Do you want to make your customer service better? Do you want to increase enrollment?

Finally there is the third and most important factor, which is your user. Who are they? What do they need? Meeting their needs is the key imperative. If we meet their needs, we have succeeded.

Branding vs. Identity

What is Branding?

A set of qualities, ideas, and attributes promised and delivered in every experience and every interaction a person may have with a companyBranding is not objective; instead it is a set of feelings and philosophies.It’s the gut feeling a customer gets when they think of you. The qualities that make up any company’s brand will inform the way that company presents itself and conducts business. From the highest levels of management to the smallest components of everyday interactions, a brand should be legible, clear, and well-articulated.

How is Identity different?

A Company’s Identity system is the visual expression of the brand through an identity (symbol and logotype), typography, color palette and layout.

But how do I define a brand?

A Company’s Identity system is the visual expression of the brand through an identity (symbol and logotype), typography, color palette and layout.

The Basics

Why do I need to do this?

You know that customers are the most important thing in your business and therefore they are the most important driver of what you do online.

Creating a tangible picture of who your customer is requires you to “really see them” and to understand their needs. The first step is creating a customer profile. Whether you have done many of these or this is your first time our goal is to help you make these customers real, both in their profile form here but also in sales.

How do I come up with my customers?

If you are an existing business, you know them because you deal with them all the time. More importantly you likely have some data of who they are. If you are a new business and have already defined them you have them written down somewhere or in your head. If you are the founder of a start-up there is a high likelihood that you yourself are the main customer profile or know someone close to you is.

15

Who are your customers?

Page 16: Groop Skool Workbook: Inception 42911

The Basics

What do I need to define about my customer?

To start a name, any name. One that reflects their background. Giving them a name begins to make them real. You don’t have “customer 1” as a customer, you have Linda Johnson as a customer. Second demographic information such as age, gender, income & marital status. Third, their story. Describe the situation they are in that has created potential interest in your product or service. Finally, what do they need from your product or service? This can be a feature or it can be an attribute of how the feature work such as “easy to use”.

Brand Driven Design

Three factors determine the direction your website and sales platform should take. The first factor is your brand: Who are you? What do people say about you? Everything from what type of content to color to interaction style depends on who you are.

The second factor is your goal: What goals are you trying to achieve with your initiative? Do you want to increase online sales? Do you want to make your customer service better? Do you want to increase enrollment?

Finally there is the third and most important factor, which is your user. Who are they? What do they need? Meeting their needs is the key imperative. If we meet their needs, we have succeeded.
