Description

We are excited to announce the open-source launch of Grid, the Guardian's innovative image management system. This narrative details our collaborative efforts in developing Grid, focusing on strong partnerships with our editorial teams and leveraging a contemporary technology stack. The project has been entirely Open Source, allowing for greater community engagement. Over the past year, a dedicated team has worked tirelessly to create this image management service, employing a practical Agile methodology that emphasizes direct user involvement to ensure the final product meets their requirements and expectations. The outcome is a service that is now seamlessly integrated with our print workflow, currently handling nearly half of all images featured in our digital publications. As the larger Editorial Tools teams advanced in creating a comprehensive suite of editorial solutions—encompassing content creation, workflow management, and the editing of front and section pages—the urgency for a robust media repository became increasingly crucial to our operations. The collaborative nature of this project has not only enhanced our capabilities but also strengthened our commitment to open-source principles.

Description

Linkby is an innovative platform that focuses on performance-driven editorial content and adtech services, designed to assist e-commerce and direct-to-consumer brands in obtaining contextual, editorial-style exposure through reputable publishers and newsletter partners, only incurring costs when actual engagement, such as clicks, is achieved, providing a quantifiable alternative to conventional public relations and display advertising methods. To initiate the process, brands submit a campaign brief outlining their narrative, new product introductions, promotional efforts, or awareness goals, after which they establish a cost-per-click rate, budget, and identify target publishers from Linkby’s extensive global network, which consists of numerous trusted outlets—including well-known news and lifestyle websites—with content typically being published within 48 to 72 hours post-approval from the selected publishers. The CPC-driven marketplace of Linkby ensures that advertisers only pay for clicks redirecting to their website, adhering to a pre-defined budget cap, thus allowing for effective expenditure management and performance tracking, while simultaneously reaping SEO advantages and enhancing visibility through respected editorial placements, ultimately aiding brands in achieving their marketing objectives more efficiently. Furthermore, this model empowers brands to engage with audiences in a more meaningful way, leveraging the credibility of established publishers to amplify their messages and drive conversions.
