Challenge
In the publishing industry, proven viewership is more important than ever. Having an incomplete audience understanding means missing out on revenue, but profiling transient viewers can be incredibly costly to scale.
Media planners will consolidate their ad spend into fewer, stronger channels or partners, and they face internal pressure to demonstrate ROI on their marketing investments, which makes it imperative for publishers to prove their value.
Solution
By being a part of the Bombora Data Co-op, member websites receive value in exchange for contribution to the shared data pool. Members are able to understand and analyze their audiences and help publishers demonstrate real value and beat out competition.
Publishers thrive on their quality content and their audiences.
So this global business news organization increased the value of its Co-op partnership with Bombora and sought to improve sales opportunities and post-campaign analytics reporting for clients.
Investing in Bombora’s data and being a member of Bombora’s Data Co-op allowed this global business news organization to gain access to deeper insights about its audience and site visitors, both point-in-time and over time.

Its content and sales operations teams gained direct access to Bombora’s data instead of going through a third party. With Bombora’s dashboards, they gained the ability to answer client questions faster, with more value, and answer questions that they previously couldn’t answer at all.
With the additional value, it won more advertising deals, successfully raised prices, and saw its partner and client retention rise.
Consistently delivering deep insights led to a lot of retained business with advertisers because the organization delivered recommendations about how to prioritize audiences and content based on what topics its target accounts were interested in, and it ensured partners and advertisers reached their ideal audiences.
Advertisers appreciated knowing what to write about to reach their target audiences when they’re responsible for publishing content.
"[Bombora] plays a large hand in the retention of almost all of our partners because our audience insights are really what move the needle and get people excited about the partnerships and show success.”
