Hearst wanted to outpace their competition
“ Ultimately, Optaros assembled a revenue-generating application widget that provides a competitive advantage for publishers by monetizing content, engaging readers, improving service and optimizing ad inventory. ”
John Soppe, Managing Director of King Digital
Content service providers like King Digital are looking for ways to increase revenues by syndicating content online. To outpace its competition, King Digital worked with Optaros to assemble a turnkey solution for publishers to drive revenue by syndicating comics to online news sites. King Digital was up against limited resources and tight schedules, aiming to deliver a solution to its first customer, The Albany Times Union’s TimesUnion.com, in an eight-week timeframe.
The Albany (N.Y.) Times-Union launched Comics Kingdom™, taking advantage of Web 2.0 features to offer its comics readers an interactive experience while simulating viewing comics in print publications.
