Visual Rules Platform Allows Media Companies to Define and Create Custom Experiences for Unlimited Number of Unique Audience Segments with No Coding Required
NEW YORK – Piano, a monetization and intelligence platform for media companies, announced the launch of Composer, a visual rules engine that enables personalized experiences and business models for an unlimited number of unique audience segments. Utilizing a simple drag-and-drop interface, Composer empowers clients to quickly define specific audience segments based on dozens of factors, including geography, device attributes, page views, adblocker usage and behavioral feedback, and then deliver personalized experiences to each. These business models can then be multi-variant tested and measured in real time.
“Composer makes it significantly easier for media companies to find and implement the right monetization mix for their audiences based on actual market performance”
Designed for the new generation of data-driven media executives, Composer is the first platform to allow media brands to develop, test, optimize and deploy sophisticated paywall, ad blocking, and other audience experiences with no coding required. Composer integrates seamlessly with publishers’ existing payment, advertising, segmentation and print subscription systems, or with Piano’s existing software suite, to make time-to-market short. With a few clicks, a marketer can, for example, create special offers for UK-based adblock users accessing content from a mobile device; offer a set number of free articles for users who agree to view a specific ad; or provide different subscription options for users based on how they are segmented within a publisher’s existing DMP provider.
“Composer makes it significantly easier for media companies to find and implement the right monetization mix for their audiences based on actual market performance,” said Piano CEO Trevor Kaufman. “By eliminating technology resource costs and delays, publishers can focus on identifying the revenue models that work best for their audience and content. At Piano, we are dedicated to providing digital media businesses with more agility, autonomy, and revenue, and Composer is a substantial way we’re delivering on that vision.”
The Composer launch extends Piano’s leadership position in the content monetization space as the provider-of-choice for the world’s largest media companies. Piano’s more than 1,200 clients include Time Inc., NBC Universal, Hearst, News Corp., Bonnier, The EW Scripps Company, Postmedia Network and IBT Media.
