What makes us different?

We've been there

When digital disruption hit the news industry in 2009, the Financial Times had no digital subscribers. By 2019 we had over one million paid readers (a year ahead of schedule). We transformed from a 130 year old legacy print brand into a thriving digital model, honing our best-in-class capabilities over ten years of practical application - expertise we’re now sharing to help businesses such as yours thrive in the digital economy.

Eero Korhonen, Head of Strategic Partnerships, EMEA News Publishers at Google

"Working with FT Strategies on the GNI Digital Growth Program has been great and seamless. They have demonstrated their expertise in the field, and this is reflected in the excellent feedback we’ve received from participating publishers from the recently concluded Italian and English Digital Immersion (DI) labs."

Philippe Colombet, Group Chief Data Officer at Bayard

"This is a new form of consulting. You're coming with the brains and the FT experience. It's the first time in my entire career that I've worked with consultants that already know the business before they come into the situation, and work in this impactful way. You're changing consulting for the better, I really mean it!"

Ross Wilmot, Head of Consumer Marketing at The Independent

"The recommendations, experiments and quick wins that come out of our sessions are invaluable. Also, having access to experts has been great, particularly as we look to create our own RFV propensity model."

Hannah Telfer, MD for Audiences at Penguin UK

"As an editorially-led business who has embraced digital, we have found FT Strategies to be a highly credible partner bringing affinity, ambition and expertise."

Danuta Bregula, Director of Subscription Strategy at Gazeta Wyborcza

"I cannot compare it to any other consulting project that I have engaged with before. The access to knowledge of how things have worked in other organisations, especially the FT, is inspiring and stimulates many old and new questions in my organisation."

Imran Amed, CEO and Editor in Chief at Business of Fashion

"There are so many things we share with the FT in terms of values and business model that it was a natural fit."
