Case study

The Information

A mobile app delivered to an aggressive timeline.

A new mobile offering for trusted technology reporting

The Information was founded to publish deeply reported technology-industry stories. Tanooki has partnered with the publication since 2019 on web and mobile experiences for its readers.

From concept to launch in ten weeks

The initial engagement focused on Tech Top 10, a lower-priced mobile app for subscribers. Tanooki delivered design, development, and iOS and Android app-store submissions in a ten-week timeline ahead of The Information’s annual conference.

A release on time, then continued evolution

Within one month, the teams had a name and designs and were conducting internal tests. The app launched on time for iOS and Android; since then, the partnership has expanded it to include all content, community features, notifications, and social features that met or exceeded The Information’s internal success metrics.
