Overview

Apple’s PR website had long existed as a standalone, outdated destination for formal announcements, separate from the highly polished apple.com experience. The goal of this project was to modernize the platform, rebrand it as Apple Newsroom, align it with Apple’s design standards, and create a scalable system for publishing and distributing news globally—while supporting the needs of both journalists and Apple’s internal teams.

Problem

The legacy Newsroom site functioned primarily as a repository for press releases, with limited flexibility for rich media, structured content, or responsive design. It wasn’t optimized for mobile, had inconsistent visual and interaction patterns compared to the main Apple ecosystem, and lacked tools for efficient content management. As a result, it didn’t fully support journalists in accessing, sharing, and engaging with Apple news, nor did it showcase the brand’s innovation and attention to detail.

Solution

Working closely with Apple’s brand, editorial, and engineering teams, we designed a mobile-first, adaptive Newsroom platform that brought the PR experience into the 21st century. Key improvements included:

  • A modular article system for diverse content types—product launches, corporate news, and press resources.
  • A flexible tile-based layout to surface stories dynamically and adapt to different regions and audiences.
  • Enhanced content management tools for Apple’s editorial teams to publish quickly and consistently.
  • Full alignment with Apple’s visual language and interaction patterns to create a seamless transition between Newsroom content and the broader Apple ecosystem.

Impact

The new Newsroom became a timely, accessible, and engaging destination for global media, strengthening Apple’s brand presence beyond product pages. It enabled faster publishing, more visually compelling storytelling, and an improved mobile experience, all while maintaining Apple’s exacting standards for design and usability. Internally, the system provided scalable building blocks for future campaigns and announcements—positioning PR as an active, integrated touchpoint in Apple’s communication strategy.
