Marketing
Central

Rogers, the leading telecom company in Canada, required a user-friendly ad generator for their national dealers. The generator allows the user to generate print ready ads for promotions, without any previous design experience or use of expensive design software.

This project was made up of two parts the CMS and user interface. The CMS had to be intuitive and flexible giving management the ability to create a variety of unique ad templates. 

FEATURES

Using the designEdit platform we were able to create an app that allowed the admin user to create an ad with unlimited text, layout and image elements. In addition, they could position, resize and layer the elements to create the desired template.

The end result for the dealer was an easy to use ad builder that gave options at each level (layout, header, discount and content).
