33. Social-native,including Facebook NewsFeed ads and promoted
tweetson Twitter,will draw a majorityof native ad revenue between
2013 and 2018.
Native ads performbetter than traditionaldisplay. This is
particularlytrue on mobile and small screens
Desktopnative click-throughrates(CTRs) averaged a respectable
0.15%, while native-mobileads had CTRs over 1%, accordingto recent
data from Polar Media Group and Celtra, respectively.
Exclusive, premium valuenot a commodity
Native Advertising
34. It fits better with news
If most people comea news site to learn and be entertained,then brands
can better reach them with sponsored content that also educates and
entertains,rather than a display ad trying to sell a product.
It solves the modern problems of brands
Brand publishing 1.0 was about companieslearning to createtheir own
websites and publish content there.They got good at it, but also realized
that no one finds it.
Brand publishing 2.0 is now about workingwith mainstream publishers to
craft and distribute the brand messages wherethe people are.
Native Advertising
39. Our job is to get our readers to
come back so often and read so
much that they have to pay. Out
of convenience the cost is too
high to search for the same
content on other sites
Paid Content
40. ü Aim to be No1 in your market – first choice if something happens
ü Breaking news- local and important national news.
ü Always answering the two questions: Hasanything of importance happenedin my
community?What is the talk of the town today?
ü Fast and quick – often live reporting
ü Starting earlyin the morning especiallyfor mobile site
ü Always tell why the users have to come back – “We will report this at XX pm
ü “Passion topics”– areas where the news site is dominating the market and attract
readers
ü Video reporting– often live
ü Dominating socialmedia on local news
ü Push mobile notifications
ü Mobile personalisation - help your readersfollowcontent of special interest
ü Special stickyfeatures
ü Columnistsand profiled reportersthat stand out on importantlocal issues
ü To find ways of helping your readersin their dailylife
Paid Content
41. One level of subscription is
not enough in the long run
Paid Content
48. What Really Works
• Breaking news
• Celebrities
• Tech News
• Pivot & Matrix
• Emotional and shareable content is huge
Questions to Ask
• What’s your focus?
• What is the user experience?
• How shareable is your content?
• What should you stop doing?
Online Video
49. 3 Levels of Production at USA Today
• Level 1: Basic training around teaching journalists how
to edit, upload and get the video out.
• Level 2: A reporter who can use a good camera but
needs support to edit and upload. So two people
involved.
• Level 3: A fully functional video journalist who can do
everything on their own.

direct rates

60. The more aggressive advertising and ad tech
companies became, the lower readers’ tolerance
became
If ads continue to obscure content, slow websites,
pry into data and break the audience’s trust with
publishers, then a big tech like Facebook or Apple
will have the opportunity to step in and set the rules

70. « In regard to the newspaper press, it will experience to a
degree, that must in a vast number of cases be fatal, the
effects of the new mode of circulating intelligence »
- James GordonBennett, New York Herald, 1845
74. #1 Rethink our alliances
in an ecosystem governed
by platforms
75. We have a renewed
opportunity to redefine how
advertisingworks, and save
the mechanism of
advertisingthat supports
content on the open Web.
