Vocento: the definitive switch to 'reader revenue'
In 2015, Group Vocento in Spain launched the first metered paywall in the country in one of its most successful news brands: El Correo. Five years later, they have 54,000 digital subscribers in eight of their regional papers. The key to their success is a huge investment in R&D that has enabled them to create new products and a lasting bond with their readers that have driven subscriptions. What is their next challenge? to consolidate their reader revenue strategy by adding three regional papers and its daily national, ABC.Speakers

Sell smarter: get more subscribers, earn more, reduce churn
In 2018 a survey undertaken by Gazeta Wyborcza (Poland) among their readers, showed that only 30% of its readers were willing to pay for news. After careful analysis, they found that while the launch of special offers spurred the acquisition of new subscriptions, the churn rate was too high and it was really difficult to gain a loyal audience. In 2019, they decided to refute the myth that "you cannot sell more if prices increase", and they hit the nail on the head: the increase in their subscription prices increased the number of subscribers (more than 200,000), higher rates of recurring payments and higher ARPU.Speakers

Towards diversifying advertising revenue
Location:Official timetable established: Mexico City - ONLINEDespite the fact that traffic has grown exponentially for many media, this has not translated into an increase in digital advertising revenue. Advertising investment and the value of the CPM plummeted. Many media outlets have been forced to balance revenue, create new products and ad formats, and push sponsored content to overcome the difficulties they face.

Advertising and other sources of revenue
Financing journalism
Location:Official timetable established: Mexico City - ONLINEOvernight, the journalism industry changed drastically. The economic crisis driven by the pandemic has been an opportunity for the media to regain the eroded trust of its readers, but it has also become a perfect storm, adding to the pre-existing structural difficulties of the media to guarantee a sustainable business model in the digital age.
The call for help that has been launched to keep journalism alive during and after the crisis has found new funders and ideas on how to support the important mission of the media: state aid, patronage models, technology platforms. Each solution carries its own opportunities and risks.
