Context

Featsclub is a digital platform that empowers students and academy members to showcase and validate their non-academic achievements - spanning sports, performing arts, volunteering, and leadership. Initially launched as ESPAR, the platform faced challenges with a fragmented user experience, a dated visual identity, and low brand recall.

As the team prepared to launch in the U.S. and scale globally, they needed a strategic partner to revamp both their product experience and brand identity. That’s when they engaged Nonlinear.

Go-to-Market Enablement

Nonlinear supported Featsclub’s public launch by creating app store visuals and compelling copy, developing a launch-ready website with clear calls to action, scripting targeted marketing messages, and refining institutional pitch decks. Additionally, a major UI/UX iteration was executed based on insights gathered from over 10 early testers, ensuring the product was aligned with user expectations and ready for scale.

Design IP Support

While broader IP efforts faced constraints, Nonlinear successfully guided the team through filing Design IP to protect critical visual and interface elements.
