Reach PLC opts for a Modern Solution to Keep Readers Engaged
Reach PLC was behind the scenes working with Taboola prior to the launch of Taboola Feed, and were behind its design and potential for user engagement from the beginning.
They chose to implement Taboola Feed not only because it was a strong product for publishers, but also for the user as well. Drawn to the modern design and functionality, they found the product a refreshing solution to continue to engage their loyal readers.
Taboola Feed was able to fulfill all of their needs and provide a significant improvement over other products. Taboola Feed recommends users the best news for them, in an engaging environment much like social feeds.
Users enjoy the familiar scrolling experience—they engage with an endless feed that contains sponsored content, organic content and sponsored video, as well as multiple third party cards, which provides personalised opportunities for them to engage with Feed on Reach PLC publications.
Audience Exchange Increases Traffic Across Newsbrands by 30%
One of the primary requirements Reach PLC had for Taboola Feed was to distribute traffic across their websites—the algorithm would be tasked with finding relevant information across newsbrands to engage already loyal readers of one brand with other brands.
Reach PLC increased revenue by 65% when they switched from Taboola Widget to Taboola Feed, and increased traffic across newsbrands by 30% with Audience Exchange.
Reach PLC looks forward to continuing their relationship with Taboola, and has found the account management team valuable, accommodating and supporting of their goals.
