Digiday Publishing Strategies London
After over a year of unexpected and unforecasted obstacles put publishers in survival mode, many are taking a step back, re-evaluating and strategizing as they hope for a more stable environment.
When they were throwing everything at the wall, what stuck? After months of experimentation and moving faster than ever before, publishers are going back to the basics. What truths are they each operating with to see through another year?
At the Digiday Publishing Strategies London, we’ll discuss how publishers from around the world have emerged from the last year — of multiple crises — leaner, more agile and laser-focused on profit-driving business lines. We’ll offer insight into what lies ahead for publishers, including tackling retention, to redesigning the office space and driving up addressable audiences.
Please note: The health and safety of attendees is our top priority which is why we’re requiring proof of vaccination prior to the event and masks to be worn indoors. You can find more about our Covid protocols here.

Join us as we kick off the day of main-stage conversations with our insights into the Key Trends currently pushing the publishing industry forward.
Transparency, staying nimble and adapting fast: businesses have quickly learnt that it is essential to be agile and as responsive as possible in order to help clients stay relevant, authentic and effective in-market. Integration across formats, channels and platforms must keep pace with consumer habits as well as having access to reliable data that analyses such consumer habits.
Bloomberg’s advertising revenue in Europe grew by 62% in the first half of 2021, this was driven by strong demand for digital advertising (up 79%). In 2020, Bloomberg Media recognised that new business was outpacing attrition by 3.5 times. Its audience covers various aspects of the business world, whether it is corporate executives or entrepreneurs, and its growth comes from supporting advertising partners with new insight tools and reports to help them understand how consumers are behaving and what they’re thinking. As clients spend more and discover the value of advertising across different platforms, Duncan Chater will delve further into the tactics that powers success as well as share predictions on what trends the industry can expect through 2022.
