TELESTIAL.COM

 

Telestial has been around since the early 90's, offering communication solutions to travellers from the US and Canada mainly.

 

When I first started at ekit my involvement with Telestial was just designing some of it's visual elements like images and icons, a few years later when I was promoted to design coordinator I was commissioned with redesigning the website and making it responsive. In 2016, as a Web and Design manager for ekit,  Telestial became one of my main responsibilities.

 

These have been my main tasks for telestial.com:

 

  •  Website redesign
  •  Web maintenance
  •  Google Analytics
  •  Google AdWords
  •  Social Media management

GOSIM.COM

 

gosim.com was acquired by ekit in 2012 in an effort to expand the online business to the UK and Australia. These are still GO-SIM's main markets with products tailored to travellers from these two countries.

 

Same as with Telestial, my work for gosim.com has been according to my role in ekit, going from a visual designer to design manager and finally web manager, looking not only after the design and UX but also everything related to digital marketing.

 

I completed the redesign of gosim.com into a responsive website in 2014.

 

These have been my main tasks for gosim.com:

 

  •  Website redesign

INTERACTIVE COUNTER DISPLAY

 

I was in charge of designing and developing 50 interactive counter displays for InMotion stores across US airports. The design was required to follow exact dimensions and other technical specifications provided by InMotion, most importantly the final unit needed to be interactive and give users all the information about our product.

 

Design

 

The final unit consisted of a main 13" touchscreen and 4 lit buttons each displaying information about a specific product as well as a lit globe that launched the main screen.

 

Here is a 3D render of the final design.

App

 

The app running in the counter display included information about our International SIM card and USA SIM card, in English and Spanish . The user selects their country of destination and the app displays a few facts about the country as well as the ekit-JT product that would better suit their travel.

 

For the app I designed the layout and was in charge of the content, the final development was done by the same company who produced the final units.

Production and distribution

 

A total of 50 units were produced with a manufacturer in Hungary and distributed to several InMotion stores in the US like Miami, Atlanta, Boston, LA. A couple of units were also sent to JT retail stores in the Channel Islands in Europe.

 

The agreement between ekit-JT and InMotion allowing the stands to be displayed in store lasted for more than 6 months.

PRODUCT PACKAGING

 

From SIM card packaging to phone boxes and user guides, I have designed all ekit-JT retail material since 2009. I have also managed the printing and distribution.

 

Main products:

 

  •  Roaming SIM cards
  •  Data-only SIM cards
  •  Mobile phones
  •  Smartphones
  •  Travel accessories

MARKETING MATERIAL

 

Most retail stores where ekit-JT products have been available have allowed promotional materials. This material has been displayed mainly in airports in the USA, Australia and the UK.

 

  •  A4, A3 and A1 posters
  •  Lightboxes
  •  Display stands
  •  Counter displays
  •  Table and pod wrapping

FLYERS AND VOUCHERS

 

As part of the different agreements ekit-JT has with travel companies, a Global SIM Card flyer or voucher is included with the documentation travellers receive when booking a trip. My first responsibility at ekit was the design of these pieces, always required to maintain the brand and personality of each company. After I became Design and Print Coordinator, I was also in charge of organising the printing and distribution with our suppliers in China and the USA.

 

For a few years now several travel companies have been switching to digital documents so I also design the digital versions they require in the form of PDF or HTML.

 

PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL

 

Travel companies also provided ekit-JT with the opportunity to promote the Global SIM card and other products across their channels. Travellers  could come across an ekit-JT poster in one of the Contiki retail stores or a dedicated page or banner in the Flight Centre website.

 

Another important part of promoting the ekit-JT products was educating the staff for whom we produced several videos. Below is an example of a video we produced for Student Flights.

 

Along with the vouchers and flyers the design and production of this material has been one of my main responsibilities while working for ekit-JT.
