Many publishers used 2021 to invest and experiment in new revenue streams and by launching new products. One of those experiments which rapidly caught fire across in the publishing space is non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These early days of experimentation with crypto have included: NFT projects that sold top performing digitized magazine covers, accepting cryptocurrency for both subscriptions and advertising deals, launching NFT communities, and even some publishers have created their own cryptocurrencies to drive engagement by incentivizing its users to read and interact with the sites content in exchange for the publisher’s unique cryptocurrency. Join this session to hear how one publishers’ experimentation and revenue diversification on the blockchain has grown revenue and shed light in using cryptocurrency to drive engagement.

Join our partner, Impact Radius, as they share the state of the industry

In 2020, many publishers with paywalls lowered the restrictions on content around big news events like the pandemic and the presidential election to provide a public service. Two years later, publishers’ paywalls are changing again. Media companies are using their paywalls to not only grow their subscription base, but reinforce their advertising businesses in preparation for a cookie-less future. Since the death of the third party cookie is a mere few months out, publishers’ paywalls are expected to change dramatically in the meantime. In this session, hear from one executive on how media companies can prescriptively approach paywalls to achieve business goals.
