How might we make Fixi a part of childrens every day life?
After debriefing we started with research that led us to some insights.
This is where the opportunity was for us.
As we saw that Fixi is not only liked by children but as well by parents we saw an opportunity to develop multiple "modes" of the Fixi caracter. Fixi can live on different types of media through different divices and can be activated on different needs.
Bedtime story? Activate storytell Fixi on Google home. Help with homework? Activate Fixi the teacher. Play time between parents and child? Activate Fixi facilitator on the phone during a car ride to play a game or 2.
