PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Each day in the Digital Immersion programme focuses on a different aspect of your digital transformation journey.

Starting with a digital reader revenue diagnostic review, publishers are guided through different phases of the reader lifecycle throughout the week, namely attraction, engagement and monetisation. On Day 5, all lessons learnt come together when publishers develop an ambitious North Star goal and a roadmap to bring their strategy to life.
