Experience Design
IDEAS’ Experience Design takes a holistic approach to designing and implementing intentional experiences. We do so to enhance existing locations and to fully design the experiential envelope for new destinations.
This approach encompasses both physical and psychological spheres:
- The physical environment, including attractions, exhibits, themed architecture, area development and wayfinding
- The psychological context, including pre-arrival messaging, navigation, audience expectations, staff interaction, media, operations and programming
We attune all these points to deliver a consistent, memorable and authentic themed destination experience that aligns with your brand and mission.
We build our proven, methodical process on a core narrative to guide design.
Culture mapping provides a valuable “WHAT IS” assessment of underlying dynamics through important stakeholders’ eyes.
StoryJam™ is an iterative exploration of the “WHAT IF” possibilities for these new experiences.
Through our partners, market research provides a clear snapshot of “WHAT’S TRUE” — what audiences want.
Experience design builds an actionable “WHAT and HOW” program for an array of factors:
- Architecture
- Facility design
- Media content
- Programming
- Operational protocols
- Attractions
- Branding
The result is an experience design plan — a blueprint for development, fabrication, production and installation.
