This is a monthly newsletter published by Gear Patrol's Corporate team to highlight important technology platform updates. To stay in the loop between editions, follow along on Slack in #technology-platform-updates.

Wayfinder site designs are now complete. Thank you to all of the stakeholders who provided insights, feedback, and direction to ensure that we have all business needs covered in the new environment's various components and layouts. Stay tuned for a process to request the addition of new components for future iterations of the site.

We’re putting the finishing touches on documenting final homepage, section page, and article-level ad logic today. This logic is being developed in collaboration with 10UP’s monetization experts and our programmatic team at Hashtag Labs, with the key goal of maintaining revenue parity while not adversely impacting site speed or UX. 

Our much-anticipated reunuion with analytics platform Parse.ly is here. Keep an eye out for an invite to a teamwide training this month. If you have already been given access to Parse.ly, please hold on using any data in formal updates or reporting until we normalize the data and formulate guidelines on usage.

The creative team has now been onboarded to our own Getty Images account. This onboarding has unblocked a significant part of the content migration process and ensures continuity of production processes post-MediaOS. As of today,

we will no longer use the Getty Images tool or re-use any Getty assets previously secured through the Getty Images tool.

If you have any questions, reach out to Caitlyn or Joe.
