A new era in data journalism

With the launch of the iPad, a new world of possibilities emerged for digital content. Upon its arrival in the UK, we collaborated with The Times to devise a content strategy tailored to captivating subscribers with a style of data journalism never seen before.

We worked across the newsroom, making compelling interactives that rewarded readers with an authentic and distinctive experience.

By standardising canvas size and code, we created visual cohesion across web and iPad platforms.

Applied Works approach every project with an intelligence that has the audience front of mind.

We made sense of all the big numbers to support coverage of the UK’s emergency budget and spending review.

We took the ‘second screen’ experience to a new level for sports fans, with real-time data dashboards.

We visualised data from the Department of Health, highlighting England’s North-South health divide.

We produced a series of animations and reusable interactive timelines for Current Affairs, History & Science.

Our work helped build website and iPad app subscriptions to over 25% of paid-for sales.

We were acknowledged with a prestigious Design Week Award for Digital Information Design, and a Gold for Digital Media at the European Design Awards.
