Melody is joining the XP Layer ecosystem. Together, we’re creating an integrated publishing setup that combines Melody’s editorial strength with XP Layer’s orchestration capabilities – giving publishers one central layer to manage digital experiences across publications and channels.
For 13 years, Melody has been supporting French-speaking publishers and today serves more than 250 titles, from weekly newspapers to daily titles such as La Provence, Corse-Matin and France Antilles.
By connecting Melody with XP Layer, we extend this editorial foundation with the flexibility needed for digital publishing – from delivering content to shaping how it appears and works across different touchpoints.
From content creation to digital orchestration
In the digital publishing workflow, Melody focuses on content creation – and that’s exactly where XP Layer comes into play.
A dedicated adapter connects both platforms seamlessly. Melody remains the single source of truth for content, while XP Layer indexes and accesses it for digital orchestration. This allows publishers to use their content across web, apps, voice, HbbTV, digital signage or push – without changing where that content is managed.
And delivery is only part of the story. XP Layer gives publishers a central place to shape their digital presence across multiple publications and channels. Teams can build and adapt pages through the UI, while integrations and monetization services are handled centrally.
More flexibility for publishing teams
The difference becomes especially clear in everyday workflows. Want to add a live ticker, change a page layout or launch a new section? Instead of asking an agency to modify a frontend template, teams can configure these elements themselves directly in XP Layer.
This gives Melody customers greater flexibility beyond content creation: they can decide how their content is presented, adapt their setup as requirements change and coordinate key capabilities from one central layer.
The Melody integration is XP Ready – certified and maintained by our teams.
A partnership that fits
The technology is one part of the partnership. The way we work is another. Melody and ethinking are both agile companies that stay close to their customers and share a hands-on, flexible approach to building sustainable solutions.
That makes Melody a natural addition to the XP Layer ecosystem: two specialized technologies working together to give publishers a more flexible way to move from editorial creation to digital delivery and beyond.
