In a newsroom, the analytics screen on the wall changes what gets written.
Chartbeat is the content intelligence platform behind that screen, used by the New York Times, CNN, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and ESPN to understand engagement in real time and inform editorial decisions.

PLACEMENTS
-
Product leadership for reporting that editors act on in the moment, at organisations where the wrong metric changes what gets covered.
Closed in 30 days from a pipeline of 36 executives and a single submitted candidate.
-
The models underneath the dashboard, at real-time scale across the largest newsrooms in the world.
131 days. 133 executives evaluated.
PARTNERSHIP INSIGHTS
Thirty days, thirty-six executives evaluated, one candidate submitted.
That is what it looks like when a client knows exactly what they want and says so plainly. Josh Schwartz described the profile in the first conversation with a precision most briefs never reach, and the market for it was small enough to map in a fortnight.
Not every search should be a wide one. When the population is genuinely small and the brief is genuinely sharp, a long pipeline is a sign of a firm covering itself rather than doing the work.
