Simplified key journeys to lift conversion

Summary
Clarity that converts as you scale
Music & Arts was growing.
Stores expanded. Digital demand rose.
But the experience lagged behind. Journeys felt fragmented. Messaging shifted by channel. Customers hesitated when deciding what to do next.
The problem was not demand.
It was clarity.
Variate partnered with Music & Arts to realign their digital experience so customers could move forward with confidence and the business could scale without friction.

The Challenge
Growth without cohesion
As Music & Arts expanded, digital experiences became harder to navigate.
Key actions were buried. Journeys varied by channel. Teams lacked a shared structure for experience decisions.
Customers hesitated. Engagement stalled.
This was not just a UX issue.
It was a decision issue.
