If you’re a publisher, video must at least be on the periphery of your strategy, inching closer and closer to a prime position in your business approach. While you might not have the resources to partner with a major brand or produce full-fledged digital series as part of a channel, you can use platforms to diversify content and assemble serviceable video that will attract, retain, and convert audiences. In recent articles, Capital New York covers some industry trends in publisher video. In addition, there’s some big executive news and some not-so-big executive news.
Once or twice a month we like to check in on digital magazine publishers making some noise with promotions, mergers, new business models, or major changes in course. We do this so that digital magazine publishers like you can get a sense of the industry landscape – and respond, adapt, or adjust if need be.
