The Community Exchange Podcast by OpenWeb OpenWeb

The engagement game is getting trickier. Sure, producing high-quality content is extremely important—but how else can publishers truly stand out in an increasingly crowded field?
The answer lies with a loyal, engaged community. When audiences find more reasons to interact with content and engage with others, publishers win.
Take The New York Post—one of America’s largest newspapers, and one of OpenWeb’s 3,000+ loyal communities. Since partnering with OpenWeb, and hosting social experiences like commenting and reactions, the results they’ve seen at The New York Post have been incredible.

For this episode of The Community Exchange Podcast, we were joined by Ariscielle Novicio (SVP and Head of Technology, The New York Post), Michael Liss (VP of Product, The New York Post), and Lior Revivo (VP of Product, OpenWeb) to uncover:
— How The New York Post’s community has been transformed into an engine for loyalty, engagement, and first-party data,
— What the future of community looks like for The New York Post and for the publishing industry,
— Strategies publishers can implement right away to beat their goals; and much more.
