Case Study: Condé Nast achieves 80% faster time-to-insights and 50% more daily data users with Mode

Condé Nast transforms data culture globally

Condé Nast, a global media company reaching millions across print, digital, social, and video, faced a tension between strict data governance and the need for fast, proactive decision-making. Its BI team had implemented a thorough data intelligence process and an internal platform (Dash), but that vetting workflow was too slow for data-savvy teams like product and audience analytics, making the team reactive rather than enabling broad, timely use of data.

The BI team built the Mode Portal and embedded it into Dash using Mode’s white‑label embed, giving product and marketing teams a single, searchable place to run governed analyses—combining domain expertise with BI oversight. The change cut time-to-insights by 80%, drove a 50% increase in daily data users and a 3x rise in report types viewed, while freeing the data team to focus on higher‑value projects and scaling trusted analytics across the company.
