Choose the right perspective
Match the person's business to yours, since marketing a news subscription, a book list, a children's publisher and a digital media brand calls for different audiences and channels. Also consider whether the person rose through brand, digital, subscription or communications roles, and pick the background closest to your problem.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you turn occasional readers or viewers into paying subscribers without discounting the brand?
- 02How do marketing, editorial and product teams work together on launches and audience growth?
- 03Which audience and subscription metrics do you report to the executive team, and how do you act on them?
