From confusion to recognition: Building VOZZi’s brand & experience
VOZZi is a regional roadside assistance platform designed to modernize how drivers access help on the road. Through the VOZZi mobile app, users could purchase assistance plans, request towing services, or call for immediate support.
Context & Goal
VOZZi is a regional roadside assistance platform.
The main challenge: lack of trust in digital services across Eastern European markets.
For reference, CMS analytics of daily revenue from plan sales showed an average of roughly $600 per day, with noticeable spikes during the vacation season (July to September).
The highest peaks reached around $1,300 per day, but these results were not sustainable enough for the startup to consistently meet its ambitious KPIs.
Goal: Build a recognizable brand and simplify the plan purchase flow.
Old branding
The old branding lacked consistency and clarity, confusing visuals and no clear guidelines hurt KPI performance.
Problem: Inconsistent colors, confusing logo, and no clear guidelines.
New branding
The new logo simplifies the old mark, with the arrow symbolizing speed and the skewed
rectangle hinting at a smartphone. The arrow became the key motif across brand assets and patterns.
Real customer video testimonials in roadside emergencies.
Video material
Beyond the app’s interface, a key trust-building step was producing a high-budget TV commercial with well-known actors. Working with the marketing team and a copywriter, I created multiple storyboards that we pitched to management.
Product Design
One of the key user flows I worked on was the plan gifting user flow. In this flow, a user who successfully sends two gift packages receives a free plan upgrade. If the user is already on the most expensive plan, they instead receive a basic plan to gift to someone else. This flow converted hesitant users into paying customers by lowering the entry barrier.
Recipients of these gifted plans then have the opportunity to refer up to eight additional people. If they succeed, they can upgrade their own plan to an advanced plan at no extra cost.
