Users were struggling to quickly find and compare metrics, especially when evaluating the performance of proprietary ad formats against standard IAB units. There was also a lack of clear error messaging when data is missing due to low impression thresholds, leading to confusion and inefficiency. The goal was to revamp the Ad Benchmarks dashboard to make it easier to access and compare key metrics like CTR and Viewability, empowering users to confidently propose the most effective ad formats for a campaign.", "solution": "I redesigned the layout to make the data easier to understand and compare by establishing a clearer hierarchy of information. The old layout was confusing, with too much unnecessary data that users had to sift through to find what they needed. The top portion was particularly misleading, as similar-looking elements were meant to be compared but didn\u2019t stand out as such. I also added a sidebar with filters, so users can quickly narrow down the data to find exactly what they need. Additionally, this addressed recurring requests to add features like aggregating CTR by ad class, Video Completion Rate, and Viewability\u2014functions that were already available, but hard to find in the old design." } nativenewsletter: { "title": "Newsletter Native Ads", "client": "The New York Times", "year": "2024", "type": [ "userexperience" ], "tags": "desktop | data visualization | interface", "figma": "", "piecename": "nativenewsletter", "blurb": "Premium, scalable native ad experiences for the newsletter that drive performance and stand out in the market.", "criteria": "In 2019, the newsletter design system was revamped to be a more premium experience.

It must work for all our ad categories and involve a scalable pitch-to-pay process.

In order to provide a more premium ad experience for our subscribers and advertisers, display advertising was replaced with native ads. These ad templates are visually complementary to, but not mistaken for, editorial content. In this instance, two treatments, image-led and text-led, were designed to appeal to a variety of advertisers with distinct marketing objectives" }
