PowerAdvice Monday Design Review

Advisorpedia to PowerAdvice rebrand launch workstream

Screenshot-driven package for the May 11, 2026 design review with Doug, Suzanne, Jakie, and Tory. The board lives in Linear under PowerAdvice Rebrand Launch, with Monday Design Review as the design workstream.

Linear: AD-2 through AD-10 Team: PowerAdvice / AD Repo: black-flag-collective/power-advice Review date: May 11, 2026

Board and ticket scope

The implementation work is split into product-readable Linear issues so the board can be reviewed with product managers while each ticket still carries the red/green test and QA proof detail needed by engineering.

  • AD-3 Make the homepage feel more visual and magazine-like
  • AD-4 Make the dark header, logo, and Ask PowerAdvice unmistakable
  • AD-5 Show realistic sponsor and ad placements for review
  • AD-6 Rename public Topic Hubs language to Centers

  • AD-8 Clarify podcast and audio presence without over-scoping
  • AD-9 Prepare the Monday design review package
  • AD-10 Shift newsletter framing to the PowerAdvice daily rhythm

Magazine-style homepage

The homepage moves away from numbered source lists and leans harder into image-led editorial hierarchy, Centers, sponsor review placements, and a daily newsletter callout.

Visual weightTrending stories use thumbnails instead of a numbered treatment.
Brand chromeThe logo is no longer boxed, the sections menu is gone, and Ask PowerAdvice gets the left-side space.
Review adsLeaderboard, native, mobile, article, Center, podcast, and sponsored post examples are represented.

Sponsored posts and sponsored Centers

The May 7 review explicitly called for sponsored articles/posts and sponsored Centers. The demo now uses a Fidelity review mock, based on the meeting's “featured centers of Fidelity” example, so Doug, Suzanne, Jakie, and Tory can react to realistic sponsor inventory instead of empty ad placeholders.

Sponsored CenterThe Retirement Income Center shows how a sponsor can own a themed stack of articles and tools.
Ad slotsTop leaderboard, 300x250, article native, podcast sponsor, and mobile sticky examples now carry real review copy.

Channel pages

Channel landings render live article grids with pagination, image fallbacks, contributor/date metadata, and styled moved-or-missing states.

Podcast and audio presence

Podcast content is visible from the public chrome, homepage, and podcast hub without turning the daily audio idea into an implementation commitment.

Centers

Public language now uses Centers while the existing /center route remains stable, so the review can match Doug's terminology without breaking current links.

Newsletter signup

Newsletter copy now frames PowerAdvice as a daily read: top seven stories every day, with Sunday's top eleven stories of the week.
