Inspiring Through Storytelling

Transforming Content and Commerce with Project Phoenix

Science in Sport (SiS) is a global leader in sports nutrition, trusted by elite athletes worldwide. As part of its next phase of growth, SiS needed to move beyond transactional e-commerce to build a brand-led, community-driven digital experience.

Partnering with The Pixel, SiS launched Project Phoenix — shifting the focus from pure sales to content-led journeys that showcase the science behind the products, building trust and inspiring deeper customer engagement.

THE CHALLENGE

From Transactions to Brand Connection

The existing SiS site was highly transactional, offering little brand storytelling or emotional engagement.

Key challenges included:

  • Lack of content integration across the shopping journey
  • Metrics focused only on conversions, not engagement or loyalty
  • Difficulty differentiating SiS from lower-cost competitors

The goal: create a platform where content creates desire, and commerce delivers on it.

THE APPROACH

Building a Story-First Commerce Platform

Through deep discovery, research, and stakeholder interviews, The Pixel helped SiS redefine success metrics, user journeys, and content strategy.

Key initiatives:

  • Developed reusable page builder blocks for brand storytelling
  • Created content-rich product pages showcasing science and expertise
  • Streamlined site navigation and filters for smoother customer journeys
  • Phased project delivery to align with budgets and brand milestones
The Solution

Content-Driven Commerce in Action

  • Flexible page frameworks blending editorial and transactional elements
  • New landing pages highlighting the science, athletes, and product benefits
  • Enhanced checkout journeys, balancing inspiration and ease-of-purchase
