What was unclear

The biggest audience, on a 2007 build.

Meatingplace, MTG's flagship daily news site for U.S. meat and poultry professionals and the largest audience in the portfolio, was running on a 2007 build with a dated interface and no responsive experience.

What I led

A modern, responsive product for a daily newsroom.

I gave it a modern UI and UX as a responsive product: a daily-news information architecture and layouts built for current devices.

Who I influenced

The redesign, across the business.

I led the redesign, working with the owner and president, the finance president, the Content Director, the Publisher, the editors, and the developers.

What changed

A finished rebuild that did not ship under MTG.

  • Modernization design-complete and approved for launch
  • MTG was acquired before launch, and new ownership pursued a separate redesign
