To build a single central hub supported by 15 country-specific sites, each consistent in brand, messaging, and functionality. For Bauer Media, the project wasn’t only about replacing logos; it was about creating a unified platform that would strengthen credibility, simplify operations, and unlock new digital opportunities across Europe.
The scale and speed of delivery were the biggest hurdles. Inheriting 15 existing sites meant dealing with more than 2,000 pages of content, each with its own quirks, features, and inconsistencies. Some markets had bespoke tools and functionality that others didn’t, creating a fragmented experience across the group.
On top of this, Bauer Media wanted every site to exist in its local language and in English to maximise accessibility for international clients. That instantly doubled the workload. Normally, a programme of this size would run for a year. Instead, the timeline was just four months. Missing the deadline wasn’t an option. Once the legal handover date hit, all old branding had to vanish to avoid the sites being forced offline entirely - losing digital sales pipelines overnight and damaging relationships with clients who expected seamless continuity.
The pressure was on to deliver one of Bauer’s most ambitious digital rollouts in record time.
As a long-term partner, we were trusted to deliver at pace without cutting corners. From the outset, we knew the only way to achieve both speed and consistency was by putting structure and design discipline at the heart of the rollout.
Our approach combined upfront planning, systemised design, and the smart use of AI to ensure nothing slipped through the cracks:
This combination of upfront consolidation, streamlined delivery, and AI-enabled quality control allowed us to roll out one of Bauer’s most complex migrations to date in just four months — without sacrificing quality or brand integrity.
The immediate impact was business-critical: Bauer Media Outdoor launched without a single gap in service, maintaining client engagement and keeping sales channels active. But the longer-term benefits are even more significant.
What started as a legally driven deadline has evolved into a catalyst for long-term efficiency, collaboration, and growth.
