Challenge
With a clear digital dermatological service as a product, we had the pleasure of developing the name and identity, thus creating a brand that reflects what Askin' offers. After an effective process where the brand's personality and direction were defined, we took on the task of developing a new name. The short and informal name Askin' became an obvious winner, linking the words "ask" and "skin".
Solution
When developing the mobile app, we defined the customer journey for each target group. We conducted thorough research to learn and evaluate the competing landscape in several countries.
In addition, we designed an online digital platform where dermatologists log on and perform consultations. It was essential for Askin' that the service was closely integrated and in accordance with the Norwegian health service. By being a modern specialist health service built on an innovative digital platform, Askin' delivers on its vision which is;
To provide better health services to more people and contribute to more efficient use of society's financial resources.
