Custom Ad Specs Site

Advertising
Project Overview
During a period of rapid growth at Business Insider, onboarding and training became increasingly fragmented. Questions about custom ad offerings, specs, and production guidelines were being answered repeatedly across teams. I saw an opportunity to create a centralized resource that could scale with the company.

I initiated and designed a comprehensive custom ad specs site intended for both internal teams and external clients. The goal was clarity and accessibility — a clean, intuitive experience that consolidated ad offerings, technical specifications, PSD templates, and production guidelines in one place.
Deliverables and Results
I designed the system in Figma and partnered with my manager to build the site in Ceros. Because many ad formats included interactive or multi-state behaviors, I created animated demos in After Effects to better communicate how each unit functioned in motion — ensuring the documentation reflected the real experience, not just static layouts.

As the scope expanded beyond custom ads to include video, newsletter, and standard display offerings, I explored multiple navigation structures to support a growing content library without overwhelming users.

Although the live Ceros site was ultimately rolled back due to broader company-wide brand and homepage changes, the need for scalable documentation remained. I adapted the framework into a streamlined internal training resource in Google Slides, ensuring teams still had centralized, accessible guidance.

This project reinforced the value of designing not just for end users, but for internal systems — creating tools that improve efficiency, clarity, and cross-team alignment.
