Ice Holidays Sdn Bhd

(Penang Branch)

A top B2B travel wholesaler in Malaysia, known for its core brand Golden Destinations (GD) and FS Holidays, which offers budget-friendly tours. I worked on social media designs and itinerary layouts, enhancing their brand visibility and travel offerings.

Key Highlight

Designed branded social media post and travel itinerary 

Maintained cohesive branding across multiple product lines

Strengthened overall brand consistency and communication flow

Target Audience

Primary Users: Internal marketing and design team, travel agents (B2B partners)

 

End-Users: Malaysian and Southeast Asian travelers 

 

Behavior:

  • Internal team required fast design turnaround for multiple brands

  • Travel agents needed clear, attractive visual materials to communicate with clients

 

Pain Points

  • Limited internal design capacity to manage high content volume

  • Inconsistent design across platforms and brands

  • Difficulty adapting materials quickly for fast-moving promotions

Goals & Challenges

Goals:

  • Create scalable, reusable visual assets

  • Support the internal team in handling large content output

  • Improve design consistency across brands and touchpoints

Challenges:

  • Limited manpower for a large volume of promotions and travel itineraries

  • Need to balance different brand tones under one company

  • Short lead times for design delivery due to dynamic travel schedules

Key UX Decisions

The internal marketing team managed a high volume of content across multiple products, with only a small team available to handle design. This created frequent bottlenecks, especially when launching new packages or campaigns. I stepped in as an extended design arm, helping to manage their workload by producing social media visuals, promotional materials, and itineraries efficiently.

Research Summary

Through competitor benchmarking, I studied regional players such as Apple Vacations and Sedunia Travel, focusing on how they balanced visual storytelling with clarity.

Design Approach

Use a modular system for itinerary design adaptable to any package

Design based on branded social media templates for multiple product tiers

Differentiated premium and mass-market brands visually with tailored color and layout rules

Maintained consistent typography, spacing, and content flow for itinerary

Impact / Outcome

  • Reduced design strain on the internal team with reusable asset systems

  • Improved turnaround time for promotional campaigns

  • Strengthened brand image and improved clarity of travel offerings

  • Future Recommendations:

    • Consider implementing a centralized asset library or design system

    • Explore simple automation for itinerary generation using predefined templates
