#INMAideas
If you decide to arrive the evening before to be well prepared for the Ideas Day on Audience Development, please join fellow Ideas Day participants for an informal “get together” drink.
Kleine Zeitung wanted to create more depth and breadth to its audience, enticing it to embrace digital content by digging deep into local history on many platforms with its Akademie. Kleine Zeitung Akademie was founded in 2012. Its main goal is to present �Wissen f�r Leser,� which is to offer our audience knowledge that goes beyond the print and online daily news.

Roularta Media wanted to grow awareness for the websites of their corresponding print magazines Knack and LeVif; which often have content not available in the print magazines. For one day (on April fools� day n.b.), the entire newsroom of Knack.be/LeVif.be worked from Brussels� Cartoon Museum; accompanied by 15 cartoonists who replaced all pictures with cartoons. This enhanced the likability of the brand; grew the number of unique visitors to the website and got #Knack.be trending on Twitter.

All year long, news staff at the Belgian newspaper De Standaard, work behind closed doors, doing desktop publishing. Their most frequent direct communication with readers is from a weekly customer service report, in which editors read about complaints and a ranking of main reasons for unsubscribing.
De Standaard's lively, exhibition-style event filled the house with more than 1,500 attendees and 18 multi-disciplinary presentations.

The challenge: Stop further decline and make the print edition attractive to loyal readers. For its "Win with VG" campaign, VG partnered with car and travel advertisers, creating daily and monthly giveaways to reward regular print edition readers for doing just that. Using a text-based competition in which readers had to buy the print edition to participate. Results surpassed goals of both the news media company and its partner advertisers.

Through market research, CN Group recognised an important theme consistent with all aspects of their audience: value for money and the ability to save on everyday life.
"Read & Save" was born! Read & Save is a subscribers'-only benefit scheme that gives readers and staff a fantastic range of national and local offers and discounts on products and brands relevant to their daily lives.
The design and launch of the campaign used all aspects of the marketing mix and social networking. CN Media became the first news publisher in the UK to offer its subscribers such a varied level of discounts and savings; and has increased their subscriber base by 46% and retention up to 85% (from 70%).

The goal was to develop a mobile-only experience for millennial and younger audiences. Chat and messaging apps are the most popular category of apps in these age groups. Sanoma Media wanted to build on this.
One of the objectives was to build an innovative revenue model based on coupons and events around community by building on positive results from a year-long experiment in delivering news over Whatsapp. So Sanomat Media created an app that delivers news in a chat-like interface.

Intense pictures, News and pointed commentaries: The new F.A.Z.�App "Der Tag" is the essence of the past 24 hours. It is updated 24/7 by the high quality editorial team of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the leading german national newspapers.
The goal of the App was to adopt the print brand strengths of news selection, commentaries and guidance and bring that on a unique smartphone experience. To maximize the guidance in combination with an ease of use, the App comes with a non-classic channel navigation. The structure is simple and smart: 5 Top-News items, then three main editorial commentaries followed by other news items which create the current �news day� from an F.A.Z. angle.

Up until last year, MittMedia�s focus was geared towards migrating existing readers, customers and advertisers from print to digital. It was time to take the digitally native young adults and teenagers, our new and future customers, into account. Exploring how we, as a provider of mostly regional and local news, can attract them was the next step. In October 2015 Mittmedia launched a six month-project aimed to increase the number of young readers, customers and advertisers by developing content, working methods and/or a news product for the fully digital generation.

Media24 has been publishing a special edition paper during the biggest arts fesrtival in the country for 21 years. The paper needed a revamp or be redunded. Media24 managed to breath new life in this old age medium; using 1/2 the staff and a new editorial model for reviews. The new �festival newspaper� grew profit margin and saw exceptional high reader engagement too.

Informing the readers how journalists and editors create the news that they publish; that is the objective of �The Story Behind Our News�. Free, breaking news seems to be obvious these days, as soon as something happens in The Netherlands or the world. Yet there is more than meets the eye to really reporting the news: our reporters research, question, interview and analyse. This campaign gave readers of De Telegraaf a better understanding how their newspaper informs them every day about what is happening in the world.

Since the launch of the new website, NRC.nl has completely changed the way they engage with their audience on social media. No more automated social media messages and newsletters, but hand-made posts and mails. With insights in real time data (Chartbeat) news editors are informed which article is more likely to publish and which article is not. Traffic from social has increased sufficiently in the last 6 months.
