Plus reader insights, glowing feedback, and a surprising discovery
Empower is The Marketing Society's digital publication created with Turtl. Here's what happened when they joined the digital revolution.
The new digital publication created in Turtl didn't just entertain readers, it also gave The Marketing Society new insights into their audience. They could suddenly see where their most active readers lived across the world, revealing geographical growth opportunities for membership. Individual reader tracking also revealed the unique content interests of their members, an insight that has helped their account managers nurture existing relationships.
The print journal Market Leader needed an editor, a designer, and an entire publishing company to produce one issue. By comparison, Michael Piggott, the editor of Empower, can create, publish, and distribute each monthly issue on his own using Turtl.
Reactions to Empower have been really positive, highlighting the navigation, visuals, and reading experience. It's opened up conversations with The Marketing Society's members on the outdatedness of the PDF for content distribution and set them apart as an innovative marketing thought leader.
As print has no analytics or engagement data to compare with Turtl's performance metrics, Michael wanted to run his own experiment. He posted the same content pieces from Empower on the new website in a standard scroll-to-read format to truly test the impact of Turtl. Here's what he found:
