The Relaunch.

The platform stayed live while everything behind it changed. For customers, it was still cashback. For the team, it meant launching an entirely new platform, brand and marketing ecosystem.

Landing pages rebuilt from scratch. A brand-new app. CRM journeys, campaigns and web assets redesigned. Over 300 partner logos adapted to new specifications. The US team provided a style guide. No templates. Spain and Germany kept going.

Photoshop first, Figma later. Different audience, different tone. The product was new, the templates had to be too.

Motion.

The relaunch introduced motion to the Rakuten UK brand for the first time. Animated banners, email GIFs, paid social. The same visual language, now moving.

Launched on schedule.

One relaunch, three markets running at the same time.

Seven days before launch, the US team flagged changes nobody had mentioned. Landing pages, banners, sign-in, CRM. All updated, all approved, all out on time.

Hundreds of assets. Three markets. One launch.
