5 top tips for creating a successful digital edition
The digital landscape is quickly changing for publishers as a result of Covid-19. Once viewed as a sidecar to print, digital "editions" in one form or another are now critical to keeping readers engaged with your brand, says Paul DeHart, CEO of BlueToad. Indeed, as social distancing becomes the norm, "digital distance" might be the closest connection between you and your readers. So now is the time to take digital seriously and to get it right.
For over a decade, BlueToad has been working with publishers to create engaging digital content experiences. They are now having conversations with publishers looking to quickly pivot and accelerate their digital strategy.
In this webinar, Paul will share recommended best practices for publishers who are re-evaluating their digital strategy. The webinar will specifically explore solutions to the challenges of connecting and growing your digital audience in these uncertain times.
You will learn about:
- How Covid-19 is impacting magazine reader behaviour
- Doing your brand justice in a digital edition format
- Delivering content appropriately on the devices that matter
- Improving engagement through promotion
- Shifting the digital advertising conversation
Who should attend: Publishing directors and management, senior editorial and production staff and anyone responsible for the creation, production and editing of content.
