CHALLENGE DETAILS
The goal of this challenge is to design the look and feel of an iPhone user experience.
Problem: Mobile Ad Manager
We live in a connected world where we are surrounded by ads everywhere. It is hard to find a social network, game, or media app where ads are not presented. For marketing managers and sales managers, there are many ways to create, control, and publish advertising in our digital world.
We are looking to design a premium Ad Manager mobile application that gathers all the critical Ad features from different sources like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, Youtube Ads, and more.
This mobile Ad Manager application will help sales and marketing managers track their ads from different sources (Facebook, Google, Youtube, etc.) in a single app, plan their next digital campaign by quickly understanding costs, target audience, and possibly launch a campaign creator from their mobile dashboard.
Realize this needs to be a mobile utility application. The application would be processing this data and making recommendations on the next steps, based on budget constraints or suggested budgets (based on existing Ad stats, trends, etc. and the goals you would have imputed). This would not be useful if you have to go and do all the analysis manually on your phone.
1-Hour Rapid UX Challenge
1. Design the dashboard and one additional screen for the mobile Ad Manager
2. Think about the following features:
3. Consider:
4. This mobile app should feel like a premium utility/quick view application.
