“The Piano platform offers us a configurable way of implementing personalised subscription messaging to our readers without coding required,” said Mark Brincat, CTO, The Economist. “The ease with which we’re able to test different messaging based on behavioral feedback, geographic location and dozens of other variables provides increased flexibility in our ability to engage our audiences.”
Piano makes creating, managing and testing any kind of content monetization solution a simple, drag-and-drop set up, helping media owners develop fully-featured platforms for all types of digital content, from news articles to video. The Piano platform integrates seamlessly with publishers’ existing payment, advertising, and print subscription systems and allows publishers to make changes in real-time rather than through a lengthy development process.
“For publishers, the difficulty in implementing a successful paid content strategy is there’s no single right way to do it and finding the right formula usually comes only after a great deal of effort,” said Piano CEO Trevor Kaufman. “The Piano platform dramatically streamlines this process, allowing publishers to rapidly test, analyze, refine and implement multiple strategies to find that optimum solution without a lengthy development cycle. We are excited to welcome The Economist as our newest client and look forward to helping them further develop their digital business.”
