• Opinary are working to make it easier for online publishers to orient and empower their readers, by using a set of powerful embedded tools, which allow users to share their opinion on the latest issues. Opinary then works with leading brands to drive targeted advertisements to consumers, as well as helping publishers to further engage their readers.
• My work with Opinary involved spearheading the development process of a new conversion feature, aimed at making use of Opinary's data to improve the rate of email signups that were generated by their campaigns. I owned the entire product creation process; from managing design sprints, to developing prototypes in HTML, to testing assumptions with real users.
• The process involved creating a number of quick prototypes, which were tested against each other. I developed a chatbot, which could be used to extract first party data and extend the customer conversion, and I created a quiz which challenged users' perceptions of opinions on related issues. The results from my work will be fed back into Opinary's product development cycle, and will be tested thoroughly once a dedicated A/B testing framework has been set up.
