CDS: Hearst's Wilkes on Digital Outreach

http://ipdahome.org/newsstand/?cat=296
A panel discussion at the CDS Global’s annual client conference centered on the use of data to best benefit magazine publishers. Chris Wilkes of Hearst’s application laboratory talked in depth about the company’s efforts to improve digital offerings, including the launch of weekly tablet versions of Esquire and Elle magazines. He also talked about the tablet and smartphone markets, quickly growing venues for Hearst to reach as many people as possible. “This is worth putting things at risk for,” he said. “We are competing for people’s leisure time.”
