Challenge

Eurostar wanted to reposition itself as more than a transport brand. The homepage needed to inspire users to explore Eurostar as a broader travel partner while retaining its core USP, was the train experience. Internal teams lacked a unified direction, and existing content structures made it difficult for travellers to find what mattered. The challenge was to redefine the experience without losing the brand’s credibility or clarity

Objective

Create a homepage that reflects Eurostar’s vision and supports business goals across marketing, sales, and product. Establish a clear user-first content hierarchy through research, card-sorting, and testing. Lead a design sprint to align stakeholders, define the experience vision, and produce validated design concepts ready for development
