47 Media: Network & Publisher Development Services
1. Media Strategy and Publisher Development Bring Your Digital Media Business to Scale February 10, 2010
2. The Internet is Breaking. You’ve heard it before. We’ll say it again: The web is shattering — and not just into a few fragments. It’s breaking into thousands of different pieces. Consumers used to visit 10 websites per week. Now they visit hundreds. Advertisers are freaking out. They need a big, targeted audience to deliver results. They used to get this from a single domain. Now they need hundreds. 2 Any technology or media company that wants to stay in the game and compete with large third-party ad networks needs to start building — and fast. Construct a single, solid network of high quality inventory, and you’ll start bringing in the ad business you deserve.
3. What do you have to lose? Everything. A company that does not supply what the market demands — be it audience size and shape, the ability to run unique ad campaigns and formats, or quick adoption of new technologies — is going to get replaced by those who can. 3 What do you have to gain? Everything. By recruiting a set of content-related affinity sites to complement your current properties, you will strengthen the authority of your brand and extend the reach of your targeted audience to levels that will make advertisers come running. What does it mean? Increased sales volume, higher CPMs across inventory, better margins, and long-term revenue growth.
