As a global leader in business journalism, Forbes relies on premium design and consistent editorial support to sustain its reputation and audience engagement. Their in-house team handled core publication needs but needed overflow support for sponsored features, event branding, and custom content partnerships.

With Flocksy, Forbes scaled its creative capacity to meet evolving editorial and branded content needs without adding headcount or sacrificing quality.

01 · The challenge

Global brand, local pressure.

Forbes required a flexible creative partner that could:

  1. 01
    Execute within existing brand and editorial standards.
  2. 02
    Deliver high-volume design work for special issues and advertorials.
  3. 03
    Support cross-functional projects like reports and editorial features.

Internal bottlenecks can occur during peak publishing cycles, meaning they needed a solution that combined speed, brand precision, and multi-format creative support.
