We will meet at Hearst in the lobby
300 W 57th St.
New York, NY 10019
(57th Street and 8th Avenue)
During this visit, learn about the Hearst Corporation strategy to integrate 500 newspaper, magazine and Web sites into a one-database, including combining content searchability and audience analytics. Four years ago, all of Hearst Corporation’s 500 newspaper, magazine and business-to-business Web sites were siloed data operations. The strategy involved the hiring of data scientists, purchasing gigantic storage solutions, and finessing new products from this newfound stockpile of data. The results are new products, monetization of data, 25 percent more global traffic (about 7 million uniques per day) on sites including Cosmopolitan, SFGate.com, Road and RTrack, Car and Driver, Elle and Esquire.
