Publishers, here's how to get users to subscribe to your content


As digital media companies, publications and streaming services increasingly look toward subscription, successfully transitioning existing audiences to paid users can be an intimidatingand an often commercially ill-fatedundertaking.

I would know. CollegeHumor has experienced great and not-so-great outcomes with pay walls.

In 2016, we launched “Bad Internet,” one of the first scripted shows on YouTube’s Premium subscription service. We sprung it on our fans, shoved a trailer in their feeds and simply asked them to pay. We overestimated ourselves: Even though the show was beloved behind the pay wall, it converted new subscribers poorly.

Let’s Spill Some JWTea This Holiday Season

This year at JWT Canada, we decided to create a stir with our Agency Holiday Card in the form of a drinkable trend report. In 2018, we noticed the phrase “spilling the tea” being used more frequently to describe when someone gives you the lowdown on the hottest gossip or trends. So we decided to wrap-up the year by warming our clients up with our take on the year’s most important trends and what they mean for our industry. Trends we explored included: the power of Sonic Branding, 3D Art and its influence on social media, the redefining of motherhood, online retailers investing in bricks and mortar, the refresh of the royal family, the new masculine ideal, the legalization of cannabis, and the celebration of diversity and representation. With these 8 hot trends and 8 corresponding flavors to choose from, every JWTea recipient can now raise a cup to a bright and knowledgeable 2019.

Creativity All-Stars and HQ Trivia's co-founder and CEO has died: Monday Wake-Up Call


Welcome to Ad Age’s Wake-Up Call, our daily roundup of advertising, marketing, media and digital news. Friendly reminder: The deadline for the Ad Age A-List Awards is tomorrow at 5 p.m. EST. (Creativity Awards have until Jan. 8).

What people are talking about today

Colin Kroll, the co-founder of the HQ Trivia quiz app and the Vine short video platform, was found dead in New York this weekend, news reports say. Kroll, HQ Trivia’s CEO, was 34. Bloomberg News reports that police found drugs on the premises and are awaiting a medical examiner’s report on what caused his death. There was no HQ Trivia game Sunday night; instead host Scott Rogowsky made brief remarks in Kroll’s memory. “Colin, or C.K. as we called him, was a true visionary who changed the game twice, first with Vine and then with this very app,” Rogowsky said. Because Kroll was an animal lover who often brought his dog to work, the app says it will donate the night’s $25,000 cash prize to the Humane Society.

Zenith wins Arby's media

Arby’s and Sonic Drive-In have been part of the same company for less than two weeks. Now they’re working with the same media agencyPublicis Groupe’s Zenith, which has won the Arby’s business from Interpublic’s Initiative.

Inspire Brands, which owns Arby’s and Buffalo Wild Wings, bought Sonic in December. Sonic has worked with Zenith for years. Zenith will begin working on the Arby’s national account as of of Jan. 1. Initiative, which held the Arby’s account for more than 15 years, retains the brand’s local media account. The Arby’s national account shift represents the second time this month that a client has moved media from Interpublic to Publicis Groupe: Last week, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles shifted its media business from UM to Starcom.

However, an IPG Mediabrands spokesman said Initiative it did not participate in the Arby’s review. “As Arby’s is now part of Inspire Brands joining other restaurant brands like Buffalo Wild Wings, we declined to pitch due to conflicts with other Initiative clients,” he stated in an email. Initiative handles Applebees, which competes with Buffalo Wild Wings.
