As the data, privacy, and advertising landscapes shift, owning your audience relationship directly is more important than ever. Many publishers are using email newsletters as a valuable channel for recurring engagement and deeper relationships — and for new sources of revenue, both from advertising and membership.
Rebekah Monson and Chris Sopher have spent a decade in email content, strategy, and technology, as co-founders of WhereBy.Us and Letterhead.
Ryan Sager and Jesse Watkins have helped newsletter publishers sell millions of dollars in direct-sold email advertising, including as the co-founders of Who Sponsors Stuff.
This session will teach you how to get the maximum return from your newsletter — both in terms of revenue and audience growth and engagement. You’ll learn how to land your first sponsorship or your four-hundredth. And you’ll learn everything it takes to cut through the noise of an overflowing inbox to deliver must-read news to your audience.
Turn your newsletter into a revenue-and-growth-driving juggernaut.
This session is designed for:
- Publishers looking to grow revenue from newsletters
- News organizations looking to grow their audience on email
- Journalists thinking of going it alone with an independent newsletter
