Developed internally by the tech team of WWD parent company Penske Media Corp., the new website went live Wednesday.
“We are thrilled to share the new look and feel of WWD.com,” said Amanda Smith, president of Fairchild Media Group. “The updates reflect the style-forward design and intuitive user experience that our high-level industry executive audience expects. We’re providing a premium advertising environment that aligns brands more closely with the elevated nature of the global business coverage WWD is renowned for — with expanded custom content, improved mobile interface and rich analytic capabilities.”
“With its cleaner look and fonts, the new website allows readers to more easily navigate through WWD’s coverage of business, beauty, fashion, retail and culture — up-to-the-minute and more extensive and in-depth than anywhere else,” added James Fallon, editorial director of WWD and Fairchild Media Group.
