Leading US outlet turns to CloudSense Media Platform to take advertising process digital
CloudSense, the global leader in industry platforms for Quote-to-Cash, has secured a deal with Newsday. The publisher has chosen the CloudSense Media Platform to enhance its digital advertising sales process and drive down the time it takes to launch new products and offerings to the market.
Newsday has a large readership and advertising customer base across the New York region. In its continuing efforts to incorporate digital technologies and ensure efficiencies in its sales operation, the publisher chose the Salesforce native CloudSense Media Platform to empower its sales team to make cross-media sales across a single interface, streamline processes, and enable the rapid launch of new offerings and products to customers.
The platform integrates with Google DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP), combining to provide a fully digital advertising sales process that optimises sales and scheduling and maximises revenues.
The CloudSense Media Platform also drives faster and more accurate quote creation, improving the buying experiences for customers across a range of Newsday channels from initial quote through to invoice.
