The Indie Advantage:
Building smarter subscriptions by knowing your audience
Abi Spooner, Strategy Partner at Atlas
Subscription playbooks can feel like they’re created for publishers with analysts, vast marketing budgets and dedicated acquisition and retention teams. But independent publishers have more to work with than they might think, and this masterclass is full of things you can do as soon as you get back to your desk.
The Indie Advantage is a practical masterclass for indie magazine publishers who want to build subscription businesses that are sustainable, customer-led and grounded in how your audience behaves.
