LAUNCH: Publisher Dashboard
It is all too often that central teams at large publishers have access to far too much data and not enough insight, having an aggregate view allows them to focus on their day-to-day without getting caught up in the details.

You have ammunition for that call you get from ‘John’ halfway through the morning asking to have his article pushed further up the page. It’s actually performing where it should do for the position you’ve got it in so no sense in pushing it higher and knocking out a better performing article. Or indeed the positive scenario where you can see that the story has really resonated with your audience and could in fact get more exposure!

ONA12 was by far the best this year. The focus is obviously online news and the delegates (journalists, editors, digital folks and the like) come from all corners of the media and news industry.
