What publishers need to know about trends for the future of digital

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

You might have missed the recent IGNITION: Future of Digital Conference in New York but slides from the BI Intelligence team (a new research and analysis service focused on mobile computing and the internet) are online here.

However, if you don’t have time to read through the whole slide deck, we’ve picked out our top 10 slides of interest, especially for publishers.

Digital is now a 4-screen world

Until we get our Google specs…

 

Digital Advertising is still growing rapidly

Positive for publishers selling online ad space.

 

TV still biggest. Online close behind. Print getting smashed.

Bad news for any publishers who lack a strong digital strategy.

 

Mobile ads are just getting started

We can expect a lot more growth in mobile markets.

 

Mobile users shop online

Mobile users are shopping online.

Mobile users use devices to pay for stuff

Trust in mobile devices is growing.

Users are consuming huge amounts of content through mobile

A massive opportunity for publishers to create an online community around content.

Mobile users buy content

Now that’s what we want to hear!

Digital content revenues are exploding

Are you taking advantage of this opportunity?

As mobile increases, all other media decreases

Mobile is the growing market.

Thanks to the BI Intelligence team for this presentation and you can see the whole slide deck here.

LAUNCH: Infrastructure Journal online data insight platform

Thursday, February 16th, 2012


Video copyright Infrastructure Journal +44 (0) 20 7728 5407

Makemedia are proud to have recently launched the new version of www.ijonline.com for Emap’s Infrastructure Journal brand. The website allows subscribers to access real-time data on global activity in the infrastructure sector, meaning they can make informed investment decisions. Makemedia undertook a massive data migration project to move 66,000 articles, 10,000 projects and transactions and 11,000 company listings over to the new website.

This is a responsively designed site that can be used across all mobile and tablet devices without the need for an app. Data graphs were designed to interpret data in an accessible way and are updated on a real-time basis – meaning IJ Online retains its place as a market leader and its reputation for innovation and delivering value for subscribers.

TESTIMONIAL: Rhod Joyce, Head of Product Development at Emap Insight

“As the market leader in the provision of qualified news, data and insight to the infrastructure finance market, IJ identified Makemedia as the delivery partner that would quickly understand our market and the specific requirements and deliver via an agile methodology.

Working in partnership with Makemedia, we successfully delivered the product that met our clients’ needs, within the timeframe and budget agreed. The agile approach to the project allowed IJ to continually adjust, modify, confirm and develop the new service section by section. The smooth running of the project was further boosted by being able to integrate IJ’s development team within the MakeMedia team at their offices, ensuring a continual connection and sharing of knowledge on a daily basis.

Due to the success of the project, IJ has contracted MakeMedia for the delivery of its ongoing Expected Product Development (EPD) and New Product Development (NPD) needs.”

To find out more about how IJ Online serves its global audience watch the video above or check out the IJ Online case study here. If you would like to find out about how Makemedia products, such as classifieds, directories and data platforms, could benefit your company please get in touch with Ric Hall on Ric.hall@makemedia.com or by calling 0845 017 8777.
