Reinventing the Sun Sentinel
5 STRATEGIES FOR PRINT

1
Decide to play offense.

Readers often don’t notice subtle change
in the paper, so don’t be subtle.
Get out the 2 by 4 and swing hard...

...starting with the branding. So this...

...becomes this.
Make it clear that
this is not the same
old newspaper.

The new branding
is designed...
...for print

The new branding
is designed...
...for online

...and for TV

The new branding is designed for...
...the smallest screens
News

... and on
the street

2
Differentiate yourself
from the competition.

Make the paper unlike any traditional newspaper.
Make the Sun Sentinel feel like
it could only come from South Florida.

Consequently, we made the paper feel

Get help. Take advantage of whatever
professional help you can afford, even if it’s
just advice.

Set a reasonable timeframe. Execution in
some editorial systems can take longer than
you think.

Have courage. There will always be
resistance to change, even long after your

Listen and adjust. Don’t stop. Continue to
perfect and evolve.
