The panel "Digiday Mobile - The iPad (and other Tablets) Goldrush" will address questions and concerns around publishers' shift to magazine distribution on the iPad and other tablets. Early results are mixed and many magazine iPad editions suffer from low download numbers, high subscription prices and questionable strategies.
Drawing from his experience at Zumobi working with media companies to publish applications on The Zumobi Network across all mobile devices, John will share insight and best practices for publishers looking to bring their magazine content to tablets. Mike will share from his experiences launching successful mobile strategies at Bonnier Corp. and will also discuss alternative mobile offerings and monetization models that are successful based on Popular Science magazine's partnership with Zumobi.
Popular Science magazine and Zumobi recently re-designed and re-launched the PopSci.com application for the Android and iOS mobile platforms. Zumobi's app network model offers compelling sponsorship options through the guaranteed pairing of PopSci.com's trusted third party content with Zumobi's BrandBlast "app-within-an-app" rich media advertising technology. This creates the ideal environment for premium advertisers who are seeking exclusivity, metrics transparency and brand safety.
