OUR IMPACT

Supporting Público to build a data-led strategy and increase retention and loyalty from their subscribers

Supporting Público to build a data-led strategy and increase retention and loyalty from their subscribers

FT Strategies helped Público, a leading newspaper in Portugal, focus more on data to reach and keep digital subscribers.

The team designed a new governance model identifying three pillars – acquisition, lifetime value and culture – to focus their activities. They identified 50 experiments responding to metrics, including a new churn model, a redesign of the homepage and different versions of subscriber campaigns to better understand why users engage and return. This resulted in a fundamental culture shift as departments came together to experiment and learn.

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