    Building a composable digital brand engine

    The Challenge

    Abdul Latif Jameel (ALJ), a diversified enterprise operating in over 30 global markets, was grappling with a fragmented digital ecosystem. Each business vertical had its own CMS, tech stack, and content workflows—leading to inconsistent brand experiences, high support costs, and long time-to-market for digital launches. Editorial teams worked in silos, with disconnected asset libraries and no standardized processes to manage or reuse content. The lack of governance made it increasingly difficult to maintain brand integrity, scale digital efforts, or quickly onboard new initiatives across regions.

    Our Solution

    We partnered with ALJ’s Corporate Brand team to architect and implement a scalable, future-ready Brand Communications Platform. At its core was a single CMS codebase, built with a modular, composable architecture capable of supporting multiple brands through configuration rather than customization. A multi-brand design system and shared UI component library ensured visual consistency, while structured content models enabled omnichannel publishing—from web to kiosk. CI/CD pipelines were standardized to allow repeatable, low-risk deployments, and the editorial experience was unified across all teams using WCAG-compliant templates. Training and onboarding ensured adoption across business units and partners, turning what was once a patchwork of systems into a cohesive, high-performance platform.

    Results

    • 5× increase in content and asset reuse across brands and digital channels
    • Time to launch new brand sites cut from 14+ weeks to under 5 weeks
    • 99.99% uptime achieved with cloud-native, forward-compatible infrastructure
    • Standardized publishing workflows improved editorial velocity across markets
    • Enabled onboarding of four major brands under one governance model
    • Significantly reduced support and upgrade effort through shared pipelines and reusable components
    • Platform now positioned for integration with DAM, CRM, analytics, and AI-powered publishing
