With Taboola, Londonist Finds Revenue Numbers They Can Count On
The uplift in revenue from Londonist’s end of article unit on both desktop and mobile is not only lucrative at the moment, but it also provides a reliable model against which they can plan when making future decisions.
Working with previous partners, Londonist felt that the display content being served to a particular ad unit could be improved, for a better match with Londonist’s brand voice and audience.
Since working with Taboola, Londonist is able to feel confident that discovery is tailored to their demographic, and if there is content that needs updating, there’s a reliable account management team standing by to help.
Londonist Implements Video to Drive Revenue
One important aspect of Taboola’s impact is the ability to seamlessly showcase video, and their elegant video placements have become an additional revenue driver for Londonist.
The thoughtful UX and bespoke design, in addition to the revenue impact, helps Londonist continue to increase reader satisfaction with ads, and maintain high quality standards.
Londonist Improves User Experience with Taboola
With Taboola on their platform and their Taboola account management team, Londonist has reported a decrease in issues around quality from this ad unit.
Prior to implementing Taboola, Londonist’s team received enquiries from readers about some of the off-message or lower-quality ad content they had been recommended in the end-of-article ad unit occupied by one of Londonist’s previous partners. This has been significantly reduced, indicating a more positive UX for the website audience.
Londonist Enjoys Recommendations and Insights from Dedicated Account Management Team
Londonist, having a technology team of their own, enjoyed the opportunity to have a variety of bespoke recommendations and insights sent their way from the Taboola team, and to have the ability to review and choose the ones that meshed best with their design and intended reader experience.
They were very much able to make the experience their own, but with the full support of their account management team.
