Context

A platform in transformation

Dailymotion was undergoing a major strategic pivot, shifting from general consumer content to repositioning itself as a premium platform for media partners. While high-profile partners like France TV, CBS, and beIN Sports were onboard, the existing tools were outdated, clunky, and inconsistent. Thousands of videos were uploaded daily, managed from a legacy backend that needed a complete overhaul.
