Problem
The legacy CMS landscape was fragmented across verticals, with inconsistent tagging, information architecture, and editorial rules. Content silos risked undermining the rebrand’s ambition to unify Pageant Media’s platforms under the With Intelligence brand.
Approach
- Audited high-priority content sets and mapped editorial rules across brands and portals.
- Identified redundancies, taxonomy gaps, and inconsistencies in tagging and lifecycle management.
- Proposed consolidation logic, governance models, and publishing frameworks aligned to brand strategy.
Outcome
- Informed reconfiguration: audit findings fed directly into CMS replatforming and content migration planning.
- Improved consistency: editorial standards and taxonomy unified across multiple verticals.
- Strengthened governance: recommendations established publishing guardrails for the new global brand identity.
