What I’ve learned about UX from working in Advertising
Frank Fenten
After 15 years in web, tech and UX, I went to work for an advertising agency. It was a shock. The creative and design process is completely different from much of what a keen UXer would consider right and proper and true. And yet, I’ve learnt a tonne about UX by coming at it from a completely different angle. Great advertising is all about provoking and building emotional responses to products. By contrast, the modern UX process has become very rational. I’ll be looking at what we as UX’ers can take from both approaches to create epic customer experiences.
About Frank
Frank’s been doing web stuff for 20 years. In that time, he’s seen it go from a platform for weird hobbyists into a multi-billion pound industry that your mum uses to do her shopping. Along the way he’s delivered around 700 projects for the likes of Adidas, Coke, Yahoo, GSK and an alphabet soup of government departments. In short, Frank’s been doing UX since before the term existed. He is now Head of Digital for Manchester agency Dinosaur and continues to be driven mad by bad functional design: wherever he finds it.
