Paywall launch as building block of the digital transformation at Tamedia
With its daily and weekly newspapers, magazines, and online platforms, as well as printing facilities, Tamedia headquartered in Zurich is a leading media group in Switzerland.
The media industry is experiencing a massive and rapid transformation into the digital age with traditional revenue streams (print ads and print subscriptions) under heavy pressure. Therefore, the implementation of a digital subscription model (paywall) was announced in 2013 as one of the most strategically important initiatives for the Tamedia group. The implementation was started with the flagship title “Tagesanzeiger” and then rolled out to further Tamedia group titles.
mas has a long relationship with Tamedia AG and has in the past successfully supported several critical projects. Therefore, Tamedia approached mas and asked for support in managing this complex project. mas nominated Herwig Gangl and he cooperated closely with an internal manager (the publishing manager of Tagesanzeiger) in the overall program management. They oversaw a number of project streams, including:
On March 31st, 2014, the digital subscription model for Tagesanzeiger was launched successfully and since then further titles of the Tamedia group (Der Bund, 24heures, Tribunde de Geneve, Berner Zeitung…) have been migrated to this platform.
The project is seen by the board of Tamedia AG as a big success and a very important step in the digital transformation of the company. mas is proud to have been chosen as a trusted partner for this challenging project in the field of “digital transformation”.
