Why monitoring worldwide publishing markets is worth it for multi-platform publishing companies; plus, which ads are best for recall?
Worldwide publishing represents a daunting proposition for digital magazines: Audience development and digital advertising is tough enough domestically, and it’s called the World Wide Web for a reason, so why invest resources in opening up international markets already occupied by homegrown media companies? Why hire native speakers or translators to serve up content to readers in Latin America or the Netherlands?
Because there’s plenty to go around as device usage continues to climb and advertising demand proliferates.
eMarketer delivers the data that makes worldwide publishing a more compelling option for stateside digital magazines. Let’s take a look some of their recent articles.
