Summary

 

 We help the world’s biggest media companies build dedicated audiences and increase revenues.

We love great content.

Whether that’s important hard-hitting journalism, captivating and entertaining videos, the latest scores of our favorite teams, or the intel that motivates companies to change course or people to invest big, we believe there will always be a demand for words and scenes that make a difference.

And we know that in order to profitably create quality content, media companies can’t rely on advertising alone.

We’re even more passionate about solving that problem. We’ve built tools that make it easy for great media companies to market, sell, and fulfill their content across any channel their audience wants. Our tools give business users control over the complete experience, from targeting the right segments through creating incentives for users to register and pay to retaining those customers and minimizing churn – without going to the IT team again.

Whether you’re looking to understand your audience, optimize your ad inventory, reduce ad blocking, grow registrations, or launch a paid content strategy, Piano delivers the tools and analytics you’ll need to create and visualize empirical results.

Though there are many scenarios in which Piano can offer unique experience-driven solutions for, we focused on a few key overarching challenges to demonstrate the impact on your clients' end goals, engaging qualified candidates throughout the application funnel.

 

  • Ability to target engaged job seekers by the job types they are reading about

    • After the user read two job descriptions about recruitment jobs, we prompted them to sign up for job alerts

    • When the user returned to the job search, we promoted new recruitment jobs

    • This creates a highly relevant experience for a job seeker and increases likelihood to apply

  • Increase newsletter signups to avoid any missed opportunities with potential qualified applicants

    • Target users reading a blog post by prompting them to sign up when they reach 70% article completion

    • Target users who read 70% of article and are about to exit the page, by prompting them to sign up

    • Content in newsletter informs candidate of any job updates and relocation opportunities

  • Drive up job fair and event attendance

    • Geo-target users residing in areas where a job fair or event is taking place, prompting them to signup and attend

    • Enable potential job seekers to identify themselves and the types of jobs they're interested in

As you internalize the solution and discuss how it would impact your client engagements, we've included some information for your review:
