Bash:
Deals 2.0

Rebuilding how deals show up across Bash.

A modular deals system built for scale, clarity, and machine-led execution.

System Design | Strategy

The hand we were dealt

Deals are one of Bash's strongest conversion levers across daily, payday, and tactical bursts.

But the system wasn't holding.

  • Inconsistent creative
  • Payday lacked impact
  • Tactical deals felt noisy
  • And everything relied on manual design

At this scale, that breaks.

The Challenge

Design a deals system that:

  • Works across all deal moments
  • Scales across brands, categories, and formats
  • Reads instantly, wherever it shows up
  • Can be generated dynamically by AI
  • Stays consistent without becoming rigid

Not just creative.
A system both humans and machines can run.

The Ask

Create a modular, AI-ready system that:

  • Uses repeatable layout patterns
  • Separates content clearly
  • Applies consistent visual rules
  • Works across all channels
  • Can be replicated without manual intervention

Not a campaign. A system designed to run.

Our Approach

We treated Deals 2.0 like a product, not a campaign.

Something that needs to:

  • scale without breaking
  • be understood instantly
  • work without constant redesign

No one-offs. No reliance on manual craft.

  • Built for machines

    Every element has a defined role and placement.

  • Structure is fixed

    Modular by design. Flexible enough to stay fresh, consistent enough to hold.

  • Clarity comes first

    Value reads instantly. No interpretation needed.

  • Colour is flexible

    Campaign-led, not locked. The system holds, whatever the palette.

The Play

We built a modular system around three distinct deal routes:

  1. 01 Daily deals

    Functional, high-frequency, and dependable.

    Designed for maximum automation and repeatability.

  2. 02 Payday deals

    High-impact, high-intent moments.

    Elevated visually, while still operating within system rules.

  3. 03 Tactical bursts

    Fast, reactive, and urgent.

    Prioritising clarity and speed over decoration.

Each route is:

  • Visually distinct, but clearly part of the same system
  • Recognisable even when generated dynamically
  • Designed to scale across all channels and formats

The Result

A system that:

  • Enables AI-generated deal assets at scale
  • Removes reliance on manual design
  • Improves clarity across all touchpoints
  • Speeds up production and rollout
  • Stays consistent across every deal type

Deals don't just look lekker. They perform better.

A system designed to run at scale doesn't just support the work. It becomes the work.
