Aiming to disrupt the $80bn virtual items market
We established a long-term partnership to define the right UX strategy and create an ICO platform that lets the team raise money for further development.
[ Challenges ]
Playing a crucial
last-minute role
Build a successful ICO platform
Hoard’s team had been working on their products for several years. But they still needed a couple more months to deliver an MVP. Our task was to create an ICO platform that would raise the money necessary to help them conquer the market.
Communicate the right message
Hoard is a disruptive force in the blockchain and gaming industries. Our challenge was to create a bold visual identity and head-turning comms strategy to match.
Support Hoard’s No.1 priority
Hoard has an extensive product development roadmap. However, the overriding priority was to create an ICO platform that could generate the funds to bring those products to life. Staying focused on this overarching goal would be key.
[ Discovery ]
Meetings that
are an investment
Our discovery process is the cornerstone of every project we work on. It involves gathering much qualitative and quantitative data to turn into meaningful insights. Although some steps are standard from job to job, we see each brief as a unique challenge and apply a highly personalised approach every time.
Before starting work on the ICO platform, we spent time with Hoard to get to know their business and customers. We clarified their needs and expectations and worked together to define the process.

[ Inspiration ]
Follow the trends
or go against them
How do you create work that’s truly innovative and inspiring? For us, it all starts with moodboarding. We use this stage to explore market trends, gather inspiration from various sources, and develop initial creative ideas. This work then serves as a foundation for our creatives to build on throughout the rest of the design process.
[ Approach ]
Simple slogans,
complex case
Boiling a company’s mission into a few snappy words is never easy. And it becomes even trickier with a product as complex as Hoard’s. A deep understanding of the product, the broader market, and the needs and obstacles of potential customers are crucial in cracking the challenge. We developed a selection of brand slogans for the client to choose from, each capturing Hoard’s essence clearly and concisely.
Creating customer segments
Based on our findings in the discovery phase, we identified three distinct customer segments: game players, game developers, and investors. And we created compelling value propositions for each:
For game players
Enable actual ownership of virtual items
Players can own their content and generate revenue from their financial activities.
For private investors
Become part of the next big thing
Our dedicated team is building a suite of products to generate value for gamers and developers. The HRD Token enables all this.
For game developers and publishers
Minimise risks; enhance game development and earning possibilities
We support game devs and offer them revolutionary technology to create meaningful and connected games.
[ UX/UI Design ]
Emphasizing the unique brand spirit: simple, fresh, illustrative
Successful brands have one thing in common - they offer a unique value to their customers and can communicate this value clearly and effectively. And this is what we wanted to achieve with Hoard. Our designers created a homepage that presents the unique from the very first interaction with the homepage. We prepared custom illustrations, an eye-catching colour palette, and icons to do that.
Also, we supported their development team in implementing all the website's design elements. All of that is to help Hoard achieve their business goals and stand out from their competition.
