BP – Future Wild Bean Café concepts
Retail Experience • Customer Journey Strategy • Commercial Growth
Repositioning dwell time as a premium retail opportunity.
My Role: Creative Lead — Strategy, Concept Development & Visual Direction
Challenge
As EV charging increased, BP had an opportunity to turn waiting time into meaningful café engagement.
The objective was to reposition Wild Bean from a convenience stop to a destination experience — encouraging customers to stay longer and trade up.
Insight
EV charging creates unstructured dwell time.
By redesigning the in-store journey — from menu hierarchy to visual storytelling — we could shift perception from transactional purchase to crafted, made-to-order quality.
Creative Direction
Led concept development and visual direction for the evolved café experience, including:
-
Customer journey mapping across dwell-time touchpoints
-
Storyboards highlighting freshness and provenance
-
Print POP, digital menu boards and screen takeovers
-
A cohesive visual system aligned to premium positioning
Impact
• 25% revenue uplift versus standard Wild Bean locations
• Increased dwell engagement and premium consideration
• Scalable framework for future café rollouts
