What’s next? A spokesperson says new puzzles and features will continue to be introduced, resulting in new ways for readers to engage with Fast
Company in addition to its journalism.
In 2024, Fast Company redesigned its homepage after research showed that users wanted a more
personalized experience and an easier point of entry to trending stories. The home page, which previously had three stories on it, was fleshed out.
In addition, it said it
had absorbed the lesson that outside referrals like those from Facebook’s now-dead news tab and Google’s algorithm no longer produce the bulk of web traffic. So
publications have to engage readers with new features and appearances.
