CHALLENGEJaguar Land Rover had a clever, boots-on-the-ground workshop that taught local retailers how to run their businesses more effectively. It worked like a game: managers role-played as dealership owners by buying and selling used inventor while managing facility upgrades. Smart, strategic and highly effective.
There was just one problem: scale. With only a handful of trainers flying to markets around the world, the company realized it would take centuries to reach every retailer. So they issued an RFP: Could anyone take this high-touch, human-centered game and digitize it without losing its personality, complexity or educational punch.
From analog workshop to digital retail simulator. Pitched and won vs. McCann

MY ROLEI was tapped to co-lead concept development and creative execution for our agency’s pitch. Working alongside our managing director and a game design consultant, I helped architect the overall user experience and translate the analog gameplay into a scalable, digital simulation. Think: fantasy football meets Lemonade Stand, with a Jaguar badge on the hood.
Once the core mechanics were nailed down (rotating inventories, facility upgrades, in-game value trackers, randomized “real-world” events) I led development of the user interface copy, video script and microsite narrative that sold the concept not as a tool, but as an experience.

WHAT I LEDCo-developed a retail simulator that rewarded strategy, investment and foresight, then translated that into an intuitive digital flow.
Game Concept & Experience Design:
Positioned the simulator as both a business tool and a competitive experience. Developed a fully-branded microsite to immerse Jaguar Land Rover stakeholders in the game as though they were players themselves
Creative Strategy & Storytelling:
Scriptwriting & UI Copy:
Wrote all game-facing UI copy and headlines, the microsite content and the script for a polished testimonial-style launch video (complete with simulated player feedback and immersive visuals).

IMPACTWe pitched against McCann. We won.
Boutique agency • Global briefOur microsite, film and strategic storytelling turned a training simulator into a branded digital experience with global potential. What began as a small-scale, analog workshop was reborn as a scalable, immersive platform that retailers couldn’t wait to “play.”
