Les Schwab Customer Experience Strategy

I led a project to re-think the Customer Experience for Les Schwab, a West Coast-based Tire and Wheel retailer. The goal was to create a vision for the experience to meet target segment needs and propel Les Schwab forward in the marketplace. The project involved extensive research including a competitive assessment, digital evaluation and ethnographic research that included customers, store staff and in-bay mechanics.
