Integral Ad Science Platform

Project Description

In this project our objectives were to create an experience for the Integral Ad Science (IAS) platform to:

  • Facilitate their clients’ ability to self service and take action

  • Facilitate a partnership between clients and IAS

  • Align the platform with the strategic goals of the business

  • Make information quickly and easily accessible

  • Leapfrog the competition

Role

I was the lead and sole designer on this project. I worked closely with the client which included their own UX team. I conducted workshops with the client, created information architecture, conducted user research, and created high fidelity wireframes.


Discovery

To kickoff the project, I reviewed existing materials provided by the client, did an analysis of the competitive landscape and conducted a workshop identify opportunities to adhere to and accentuate the existing brand as part of designing a new experience for the integral platform.

Discovery Findings & Recommendations

Next I put together a discovery review deck that outlined the objectives, approach and goals, audience analysis & roles matrix, existing & proposed conceptual sitemaps, conceptual flow structures, and creative direction based on the synthesis of the workshop.

 

Define & Concept

User Journeys

I mapped out user journeys for the different roles starting to define the user flows. This also helped solidify the sitemap and information architecture.

 

Navigation User Testing

In order create a navigation validated by user feedback, I created an unmoderated tree test for users. Users were given seven tasks prompting them to click where they would go to find information. I analyzed & synthesized the results into recommendations that would translate into the proposed navigation.

 

Initial sketches
Next I iterated in rough sketches to help identify more specific KPIs and think about how the templates could be structured.

 

Wireframes

Finally, I created high fidelity wireframes integrating client feedback. I created a cohesive module based design system and thoughtfully visualized the data. I designed the platform to effectively communicate performance and highlight the issues needing attention while allowing the users to drill into the details.
