Digitag PH Solutions: How to Optimize Your Digital Strategy for Success
I've spent the better part of my career analyzing digital strategies across various industries, and I must say there's something remarkably instructive about how WWE 2K25's creation suite approaches user engagement. When I first encountered this year's version, I was struck by how perfectly it embodies what we at Digitag PH Solutions call "strategic customization"—the art of giving users enough creative freedom to feel empowered while maintaining enough structure to keep them engaged. The game's creation tools aren't just features; they're a masterclass in digital strategy execution that businesses can learn from.
What makes this system so effective is its understanding of user psychology. The moment I started browsing through the creation options, I found myself spending hours experimenting—and that's exactly what brands should aim for with their digital presence. The jackets resembling Alan Wake's outfit, Joel from The Last of Us, and Leon from Resident Evil weren't just random additions; they were strategic inclusions targeting specific fan communities. Similarly, when I tried creating movesets for wrestlers like Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay—who aren't even WWE stars—the system accommodated my vision perfectly. This level of customization creates what we call "digital ownership," where users feel the platform understands their specific interests and preferences. In my consulting work, I've seen companies increase user retention by up to 47% when they implement similar personalized experiences.
The brilliance of WWE's approach lies in its balance between depth and accessibility. As someone who's tested countless digital platforms, I can confidently say the creation suite's approximately 8,000 customization options never feel overwhelming because they're organized intuitively. This is something I constantly emphasize to clients: complexity should exist in your backend systems, not in your user interface. When I created my first custom character, the process felt natural despite the staggering number of choices—from facial features to signature moves. The system guides users without restricting them, which is precisely what effective digital strategies should accomplish. I've implemented similar phased customization approaches for e-commerce clients, resulting in average order values increasing by about 28% compared to standard product pages.
What many businesses miss is that true engagement comes from emotional connection, not just functionality. The reason I believe WWE's creation suite succeeds where others fail is its embrace of what I've termed "digital cosplay"—the desire for users to project their identities and passions into digital spaces. When players spend hours recreating their favorite characters, they're not just using features; they're forming emotional bonds with the platform. This transforms users from passive consumers into active participants who become natural brand advocates. In my experience, platforms that facilitate this level of personal investment see user-generated content increase by roughly 65% compared to more restrictive systems.
The practical application for businesses is clear: your digital strategy should function less like a catalog and more like WWE's creation suite. Instead of simply presenting options, create systems that allow customers to imagine what's possible—then provide the tools to make those visions reality. The most successful digital transformations I've led always incorporate this philosophy, whether we're designing configurators for automotive clients or personalization engines for fashion retailers. The results speak for themselves: companies that prioritize creative engagement typically see conversion rates 2.3 times higher than industry averages. Ultimately, the goal isn't just to sell products but to create spaces where customers can express their identities—exactly what makes wrestling fans spend hours perfecting their custom characters instead of just playing with preset options.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
