We designed Feed Good Rewards as a way for Canadians to eat well, waste less food, and feel good by donating to a worthy cause.

The more users engage with Feed Good Rewards, the more it delivers on Grupo Bimbo’s global promise of Nourishing a Better World.

My Role

I was responsible for stakeholder interviews, competitive analysis, and requirements gathering working directly with Bimbo stakeholders. With Dentsu, I led design workshops, information architecture, wireframes, and design hand-offs between Creative and Development.

Results

Feed Good Rewards delivers on the promise of Nourishing a Better World. Sign-up rates for the first 6 months exceeded expectations, and Bimbo Canada has made significant contributions to Food Banks Canada as a direct result.

Most Canadians don't think about the baker. They think about the grocer that sells the bread. We had to change that.  

The Challenge

How do we get consumers to engage with a baker’s website and other digital properties? This was our primary objective for creating the platform. Bimbo’s customers told us they care about two things: coupons and recipes. We needed to make sure the website would be more than a destination for downloading coupons and viewing recipes.

My Approach

Designing Feed Good Rewards involved an end-to-end process with many disciplines. Our solution gives consumers two ways to interact with Feed Good Rewards in a fun and exciting way while living up to Bimbo's promise of Nourishing a Better World.

Engagement = Dollars Donated

Consumers earn points every time they view recipes, share recipes, download coupons, enter contests, and subscribe to newsletters. Their points are converted to dollars donated to Food Banks Canada.

The Sandwich Maker

To increase engagement, we developed a simple recommendation engine for consumers to find new ways to create sandwiches, ultimately leading to a new consideration set of products from Bimbo.

Our features were driven by insights during my Discovery work as an individual contributor, working with Bimbo’s marketing and research teams. For Strategy and Design I partnered with Merkle and Dentsu.

Discover the meaning of success

I started my discovery with stakeholder interviews. From the Vice President of Marketing to the Customer Service Agents and Digital Operations, all voices matter when it comes to stakeholder alignment.

Benchmarks and feature sets

I conducted a competitive analysis shortly after the interviews. The report covered 9 websites and identified feature sets and value propositions. I also evaluated overall UX using Jakob Nielsen's 10 principles for interaction design. 

Workshops and Testing: The art of the possible, and the feasible

I developed a template and facilitated design workshops. The guiding principles were derived from our Discovery phase. 

Testing our Hypotheses 

Methodology

Flow the information in ways that lead to higher engagement

Understanding how consumers want to interact with recipes, contests and coupons, I developed wireflows to identify the best opportunities for increased engagement to earn more points.  

Converting flows into interaction models

I developed prototypes instead of annotated wireframes due to time constraints, helping our team better manage stakeholder alignment at a critical point in the project.

Lesson Learned

When developing clickable prototypes, it's best to continue developing detailed annotations for all members of the team. Figma Dev Mode is my new standard to solve this problem.
