overview
Media companies today operate in a fragmented digital landscape where they need to balance emerging technology, niche brands, and an expanding global footprint. At the same time, scale, efficiency, and cross-organizational learnings are required competitive differentiators.
​
The foundation of each of these facets is trusted and strategic modern data solutions.
Paramount Streaming utilizes its unique position within the organization to address this need and develop unified, efficient backend tools and services that mobilize a host of data-driven solutions to serve insights, products, activation, and monetization.
​
Nómadas addressed the hurdles to achieving these goals in a matrixed conglomerate through rapid scaling, data integrity, and long-term stakeholder collaboration securing the success of the million-dollar project.

approach
TRANSLATOR
We bring the unicorn skill set of being able to quickly adjust altitude, navigating from intricate details to corporate strategy.
​
This enabled us to be a trusted translator collecting and negotiating clear requirements from technical and non-technical teams and honing narratives to efficiently get intentions across divides.
​
We produced responsibility (RACI) charts, a glossary, user guides, and other documentation.
CLARITY
Reducing static to hear a crisp, clear voice is critical to ensure that cross-team collaboration sends the right message as a part of internal product marketing.
​
We accomplished this by leaning in and unmasking perceived black boxes in processes, products, and vision through the creation of targeted diagrams, workflow visuals, a simplified roadmap, and a deck focused on business value.
GLUE
Keeping 15 teams, at times with directly competing priorities, in synch can seem insurmountable.
​
Our role kept the focus on shared goals by consistently keeping teams informed, questions answered, and ensuring feedback was collected broadly across stakeholders building trust and project engagement.
PRIORITIZED
ACTION
In a centralized solution, small details can have huge impacts as they travel through the data pipeline and live on in a data system causing inefficiencies
​
With past experience at all touchpoints in the data lifecycle - from data collection design to data story-telling - we were able to proactively work with stakeholders to establish prioritization methodologies and save precious resource time.
