IOT Mobile Drink Pass

Introduction

We took amenities from a user’s hand into a user’s glass with customer experience worthy of a toast.

The Problem

Marriott is constantly innovating to stay ahead of where people stay. How can new amenities, like automated, self-service happy hours, prove to be a worthwhile investment?

The Solution

Brave merged app UX with customer experience to create their brand-new, mobile Drink Pass.

Guests can now unlock complimentary happy hour drinks with their phone - no NFC, QR or app install required.

Onboarding in motion

An elegant onboarding process requires a careful balance of progressive disclosure and acceleration.

We created a sequence of animated illustrations to guide users through the process of selecting their beverage. Motion design visually communicates the user’s real world device interaction.

Testimonial

In a word, Brave’s work is wonderful. And we would know: Marriott not only lives and breathes the design process, but we manage a multitude of vendors for our thousands of properties.

Working with Brave was a collaboration with experts that didn’t just speak our language, but also showed us innovations from industries outside our own. We were constantly impressed by their team and their efforts.
