Folio interviewed Jeff Burkett, the Senior Director for Sales, Operations and Product Strategy at Washington Post about the company’s approach to mobile advertising. Not only did he discuss the trends to watch, but mentioned how exciting it is to see opportunities with audiences. “The growth is extraordinary-at The Post, our tablet and smartphone audience has exploded– up 115% YOY in August 2014 according to ComScore– and the majority of our readers are consuming our content via those devices.”
