Al Jazeera Commercial
Led the design of the commercial site, the part of a global newsroom that has to sell its reach without sounding like a sales pitch.

Al Jazeera's commercial arm needed a site that could sell its reach to serious buyers. The tension is that it sits under a newsroom built on restraint, not salesmanship. It had to be persuasive without ever sounding like a pitch.
Al Jazeera Commercial represents the network's commercial and advertising business. I was asked to communicate scale, audience reach, and partnership opportunities for media buyers, agencies, and partners while staying aligned with the parent network's authority
The Hard Part
Commercial audiences turn up with a checklist and limited patience. What do you sell, who do you reach, can I trust the numbers. Dense commercial information slips easily into reading like documentation or a brochure.
Without firm hierarchy, the experience drifts from strategic toward merely informative. A brand this size cannot afford to read like a media kit buried in a PDF
What I Did
I reworked the information architecture so core commercial services come first. Audience figures were given room to land, and layouts were standardised so the site holds together as one argument. The structure follows how a buyer decides, top to bottom.
Content was reframed for fast comprehension rather than completeness. Evaluating the offer became quick and confident instead of effortful.
What Changed
Partners can size up the fit quickly and reach out with intent. The site signals credibility without overstating anything. It reads the way a newsroom-backed brand has to: confident and well organised rather than loud.
The reach becomes legible as a reason to partner, not just a set of statistics. The restraint is the message.
The Call
It would have been easy to turn the volume up, to lead with big numbers and bold claims. For this brand, that would have undercut the very credibility it was selling. I let structure and clarity carry the persuasion instead.
Matching the newsroom's restraint was the harder brief and the right one. Loud would have read as insecure.
