    Session 1: Top digital priorities & leading trends

    Check you’re on track for 2017. Media executives from forward-thinking companies present their digital strategies and tell you where they plan to focus their efforts in the coming months. Benchmark your own efforts with peers of the industry. 

    World leading digital trends

    A brief overview of the leading 2016-2017 digital trends for news publishers as observed by Wan-Ifra around the world.

    The mobile ready publisher

    As media audiences rapidly shift their consumption from print and desktop computers to mobile devices, media publishers must create revenue streams that are "mobile ready." Chris Lee, President of Deseret Digital Media (DDM) in the US, will discuss the business models of mobile publishing, the primacy of data, the rise of social platforms, and the future of digital advertising in his keynote presentation. 

    With more than one billion monthly ad impressions and a social following of over 100 million, DDM is a multi-platform publisher in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Bahasa Indonesia with headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. Over 60% of revenues from DDM currently are "mobile ready" sources, meaning these revenue streams are not dependent on platform, working as well on a mobile device as they do on a desktop computer.  

    Ditching print to thrive online

    La Presse, Canada's French language newspaper of record, launched its USD 40 million tablet app back in 2013. In January this year, they stopped printing the newspaper from Monday to Friday, only retaining the popular Saturday edition in print. But the yields they get for their ad inventory on the app on week days are actually equal or higher than what they used to get in print... How did they convince their readers/users and advertisers to embrace so fully their new digital edition?

    Session 2: Optimising content monetisation

    Sponsored by

    The news publishing industry has shifted in 2015 from an advertising driven business model to a circulation driven business model. Many publishers in Asian and around the world however find it hard to charge the reader for their online content. What are the trends and success stories 5 years down the line from the NYT's paywall launch?

    Fine tuning paywall settings and targeted offerings

    The Wall Street Journal is one of these global media brands able to offer unique quality content that readers are willing to pay for. It however also needs a consequent reach in order to grow its digital advertising revenues... In the past months, the WSJ has been live testing the impact of different paywall models on its audience... It has also built a portfolio of verticals which offers different products ans services adjusted to the readers' different level of engagement in order to unlock the maximum revenues from their audience.

    The Premium model

    Axel Springer's flagship title, BILD, is Germany's largest and most popular newspaper with a circulation of nearly 2 million copies sold daily and a print readership of around 10 million readers per day. Until 2013 it was free on nearly all digital platforms. BILD however decided to start charging for its online content, opting for a freemium model instead of a metered paywall. What is the strategy underlying this model? What are the results so far?

    Implementing a paywall based on the reader's session

    Launched by Jean-Paul Sartre after World War II, Libération is a top national Daily in France. While it has been free on digital platforms for many years, the media company is now trying to convert faithful online readers into digital subscribers using a unique paywall system based on reader's attention (length and depth of engagement) instead of the number of articles read. Different reader's behavior can trigger different subscription offers...

    Session 3: Increasing reach and engagement across platforms

    Beyond paywalls and subscription schemes,  premium publishers are leveraging attention data in the newsroom to develop audience growth strategies and create meaningful goals at the author and publication levels. How can publishers capitalize on those wins to increase audience reach and reader loyalty over time? What additional challenges represent social media platforms and the rise of distributed content ?

    Distributed content: lessons from Europe   

    Wan-Ifra's Head of Global Advisory, Ben Shaw, has met many European publishers in recent months and discussed their distributed content strategy. He will share some of the key findings resulting from these conversations and illustrate them with concrete examples. Xavier Grangier will also share directly with DMA's audience Liberation's own experience as an early adopter of FB's Instant Articles... 

    Growing audiences for paid-for news

    What kind of social media content strategy fits a media with a hard paywall? This is the challenge that The Times and Sunday Times faces in London. Obviously, platforms such as Apple News (which allows subscriptions) will be preferred while content will be distributed on other networks with the clear focus to bring readers back toward the pay-for site... Free weekly articles are also offered to registered users while e-newsletters play an important role to create a bond with readers...

    Integrating audience development and marketing

    The Financial Times' audience engagement team includes social media editors, a data analyst, an SEO expert, an engagement strategist and a community manager to lead the FT strategy around comments and onsite engagement... It also includes a marketing manager, who coordinates with the other commercial parts of the FT organization to grow the impact of its promotional efforts... This session's will give an overview of the FT's overall audience engagement strategy and specific insights on the marketing manager role for growing subscriptions.

    Distributed content: lessons from Europe

    Session 6: The end of display advertising 1.0

    Sponsored by

Digital ad revenue depends on deep insights into customer data, tracking users across multiple devices. How are publishers taking steps to improve the user experience?

On many markets, media companies join forces and create Ad Networks to address this challenge. This is a path that Kompas is following in Indonesia.
