Brand Strategy & Identity · Website Design & Development · AI & Digital Transformation

Maaketto is a full-service creative and technology agency based in Dubai Media City, UAE. We work with ambitious brands across the UAE, GCC, and internationally — delivering brand strategy, event production, AI transformation, website design, and digital execution that drives measurable results. Every engagement is led by senior team members from brief through delivery.

This case study documents the work Maaketto delivered for Athlevo — including the strategic brief, design and production process, and the final outcomes. We share our case studies in full because transparency about how we work is the foundation of the trust our clients place in us.

Project Overview

Athlevo is a sports technology platform built around: Discover. Train. Dominate. The app connects athletes with verified coaches and nearby venues. Maaketto led the full UX/UI design process from research through to high-fidelity prototypes and complete brand identity.

The Challenge

The sports coaching market operates largely offline. Existing apps address fragments — performance tracking, event registration, general fitness — but none unified coaching, venue booking, and progress tracking in a single mobile experience built for competitive athletes. 50% of users reported difficulty finding schedule-matching coaches. 35% struggled to verify coach qualifications.

Our Approach

Every Maaketto engagement follows a rigorous process: we begin with a deep discovery phase to understand the brand, audience, and competitive landscape, then move through strategy and concept development before entering execution. Here is how we approached this project for Athlevo:

01
Research & Discovery

User interviews, competitive analysis, journey mapping, persona development. Radial orbital process diagram with 6-phase methodology visualisation.

02
User Personas

Shanmugarajan (20, student, aspiring athlete) and Nova Crispin (19, javelin athlete) — both defining UX decisions from navigation to booking flow.

03
Competitive Analysis

Feature matrix against Nike Training Club, Garmin Connect, Turf Town, TrainingPeaks, SwimUp — revealing white space around integrated coaching + venue booking.

04
Audience Segmentation

45% teenagers/young adults, 35% adults 25-35, 20% mature adults 36-50 — visualised with 3D metallic form data graphics.
