An Original Digital Experience
When the new digital media Frihedsbrevet by Mediehuset Friheden went live in the spring 2021 Adapt was a part of their digital journey, first as App partner and later on both web, app and marketing. Mediehuset Friheden is a digital media house founded in the spring 2021 by Mads Brügger. The house was established based on an ambition to produce independent, critical journalistic content free from governmental media support. What differentiate them from other Danish news outlets is the fact that they research and produce all of their content themselves and publish it via their newsletter service “Frihedsbrevet”. As a member you can access all content both on web and through their app, and all content can be consumed by either reading and listening. Adapt joined early (spring 2021) on their digital journey as a digital partner for both website and app. Mediehuset Friheden were looking to get a digital platform where their members had freedom of choice in how and where they could consume their preferred news. Today, the majority of platforms either provide you with written or with audio content, like the classic “read your news”-app or the different podcast applications. The challenge for us was to create a solution that could carry both experiences, as every single one of Mediehuset Friheden’s articles are written and read out loud. The project had a real sense of urgency, as it was important for the media house to be in market in timely fashion - a countdown ticking that led to adapt designing the solution in two weeks time in close collaboration with Mediehuset Friheden. Mediehuset Friheden was also concerned with increasing their membership numbers, so Adapt took on the task of opening up the app for non-subscribers allowing them to navigate the app and read teasers of content - with the hope of them sticking around. An ongoing challenge Adapt keep looking into is how we can make the audio experience better for members keen on listening to articles. Frihedsbrevet App Over the course of last year Adapt developed and released the Frihedsbrevet app version 0.8 and 0.9 whilst continuing to work agile and prioritizing the tasks which create most value for Mediehuset Friheden and their members. Adapt designed an app with a clean article UI made for easy thematic navigation and fast interaction. The listening tab for podcast separates the news articles and podcast for easy distinction and focuses heavily on visuals to catch the attention. A search tab functions as an easy way to find desired content. Frihedsbrevet Website Adapt designed a website with a mobile-first approach and a particular focus on consistency to the format of the app. The keyword here is “ease of use” - finding content should be a natural and easy experience. The sign-up flow should follow a logical, simple process free of unnecessary elements, designed to make it easy and fast to become a member as well as adjusting your profile and membership. All of Frihedsbrevet’s existing and future subscribers can look forward to always having the media outlet’s journalistic content easy at hand for reading or listening. It has been and still is very interesting to work with an ambitious partner on the rise and Frihedsbrevet really is that, but Adapt have also challenged themselves by using some new tech for part of the project. The app gets high praise for its easy of use and great design. It has a 4.4 star rating in App store right now. In the weeks after the first release (0,8) the app was no. 1 in the News category. Also, a customer from Weekendavisen asked the media to make a solution like Frihedsbrevet. Quite the statement, right? www.adaptagency.com
