Case Study: Speak Media streamlines newsroom content operations with Airtable

How building their own newsroom CMS helped Speak Media transform Barclays' content operations

Speak Media, a content and editorial operations company, needed a better way to manage complex, fast-moving newsroom-style production for clients like Barclays. As its business grew, the team found that spreadsheets and other disconnected tools made it hard to track stories, deadlines, approvals, and deliverables across multiple channels and clients.

Using Airtable, Speak Media built a customized newsroom CMS and production tracker with calendar views and filters to organize work, improve visibility, and prevent dropped tasks. Airtable helped the team reduce admin, cut down on emails, and keep all stakeholders aligned in real time, contributing to award-winning results for Barclays, including a Digital Impact Award for Best Corporate Website.
