DIGITAL & MULTI-PUBLISHING THEATRE WEDNESDAY 29 FEBRUARY TIME SESSION TITLE


10.00 - 10.40


Adobe special: Brand as publisher, publisher as brand


Brands as publishers can curate and create high quality content, and gain the close relationship with their audience that publishers already have. Publishers want a reliable business model. The lines between a publication and a digital catalogue are blurring. What are the opportunities - and the threats? Who’s doing what and how?

Case study: One set of b2b titles - a flock of new business models


The building and property industry ‘family’ of weeklies Building Design, Building and Property Week has branched into high- cost research ‘specials’, tablet and smart-phone development, and conversion of ‘free’ audiences to paid content. Oh yes, and there’s also a range of bespoke data-led web products. Not much grass under this publisher’s feet.


12.20 - 13.00


Do we really need the super smart app?


Do we see a trend away from spending money on fancy, designed apps without earning back, and towards cost- effective, easy-to-handle solutions that enable publishers to make money from their tablet editions? Is the message: ‘Come back, page turners, all is forgiven?’ A wake-up call for the all-singing all-dancing app.


14.00 - 14.40


Content is not enough


Wasn’t content King a few minutes ago? But a new world demands new business models, and many publishers are changing their game entirely. Examples such as Autotrader, Net-A-Porter and TopTable show how a publisher can become a software company, or at the very least a mobile/ app-based workflow and GPS tool.


15.10 - 15.50


Keynote Session: Publishing futures #2: Business models in the digital world


We looked at the music industry a couple of years ago and its still in as much turmoil now as it was then. Now the PPA’s research project into leading companies from music, gaming and business information sectors brings home the idea that publishing can learn by looking outside itself.


16.20 - 17.00
