Fri, 20 Apr 2012 12:14:26 +0100

Digital developments are at the fore, and this year there is a major focus on how advertisers and media owners are breaking new ground together, including the emergence of ‘sapplets’ or social applets. And a whole section is devoted to great ideas that engage the reader with the product including: an ad from BBR Saatchi & Saatchi that changes on a page, driven by solar power for Israeli energy company Shikun & Ninui Solaria, a Carlsberg ad that works as a bottle opener, whispering audio chips in Playboy covers, a ‘self-drive’ ad for Volkswagen plus a Cannes award-winning ‘talking dictator’ ad using QR codes for Reporters Without Borders.

Chris Llewellyn, FIPP president and CEO, said: “Rapid technological development and an uncertain economic background are the driving forces behind the huge amount of experimentation being undertaken by magazine media companies. Encouragingly, print still retains the ability to surprise and innovate.”

Juan Senor, John Wilpers and Juan Antonio Giner, Innovations editors said: “We are really excited about the 2012 edition of Innovations in Magazine Media because we are exploring innovations in magazine advertising for the first time, as well as tackling some tough topics like ad walls, unbundling, watermarks, and integration. There are pieces about tablets, social media, user-generated content, newsweeklies, and more. At the same time, we're having fun with the annual search for the odd and bizarre, turning up this year the magazine as theatre and the largest, most expensive, and most useless magazines. Always fun.”

The PrintCity Alliance was responsible for producing the innovative cover using a special hybrid coating effect to make it even more eye-catching.

Newspaper Success Case Studies in Brazil

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 13:56:51 +0100

Two Brazilian newspapers re-launched by INNOVATION become absolute leaders in their communities in record time.

Correio* de Bahia in Brazil has grown 138% in the past year with a circulation of more than 60,000.

A Tribuna in Vitoria is also the runaway leader in its city with almost 90,000 sold each day.

The two dailies now rank amongst Brazil's top ten quality dailies in less than three years.

Both newspapers have gone through a similar re-invention process by INNOVATION which included becoming compact Berliners where 'less is more'; a modern graphic design and radical new editorial concept and structures with powerful front pages.

In both cases they operate as integrated multimedia operations both editorially and commercially.

The new BERLINER MORGENPOST KOMPAKT edition

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:43:08 +0100

Axel Springer has launched a compact edition of Berliner Morgenpost to coincide with the run up to local Berlin elections. BM Kompakt appears from Monday to Friday with a pagination of between 44 to 48 pages and is available only in kiosks.

Juan Señor interviews Arthur Sulzberger of the NYT, at INMA World Congress 2011

Thu, 19 May 2011 19:56:59 +0100

Juan Señor and Arthur Sulzberger during the interview

Satisfied with paid content strategy, Sulzberger turns bullish on social media

As the newsmedia industry fights to retain relevance in the digital age, many companies look to The New York Times as a bellwether for media trends. In an exclusive question-and-answer session during INMA World Congress 2011, moderator Juan Senor sat with Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and walked through his views on the newspaper’s present and future for a room packed with more than 300 attendees.

The session covered a broad range of topics, but Senor led off with a simple question that got right to the question on the minds of many attendees: how’s that paywall going? So Sulzberger began by discussing the Times’ recently implemented digital paid-content strategy.

The paid content experienced a strong opening in the first six weeks of its existence. Sulzberger said it is too early to provide solid numbers, but he confirmed that the Times has not seen a big decline in online traffic, and that the site currently has well over 100,000 paid subscribers. (This number does not include 100,000 more who received free subscriptions courtesy of Lincoln via a marketing deal between the two companies.)

Sulzberger said that the “digital subscription model” was devised over a year and a half spent researching other successful businesses, both in news and other industries. They also met with groups of core users to keep the focus on providing quality content, and also to decide price points for the publication across various platforms.

The new site format features very little content that is available without paying, but the system wasn't designed to completely block all unpaid traffic. Sulzberger avoided using the term “paywall,” saying it evokes the image of an iron gate, and that is not how the Times wants to function. Instead, he said, they created their Web site as a “porous” environment where links to articles sent by subscribers via Twitter or other formats will give access to the full article. Sulzberger said that this approach allows people to interact through them and with them, while simultaneously building a digital subscription base.

The way that people interact with news and information is evolving, he said, so part of the new media plan created by the Times also includes heavy investment in the social world of Facebook and Twitter. This part of the plan has been successful as well, Sulzberger said, noting that the Times is mentioned in a tweet every four seconds, and the Times’s own Twitter account has four times more followers than any other newspaper in America. In fact, he said, some reporters for the Times have larger Twitter followings individually than most major newspapers.

“The world is moving to social, and you’ve got to be part of the discussion. That's what drove us,” Sulzberger said. “It is a powerful resource, and it’s where we just have to be.”

Naturally, a follow-up question dealt with how the Times is monetising social platforms. Right now, Sulzberger said, they are just focused on building engagement, and even there, they are in the early stages.

“We need to make sure we are part of the conversation and part of the linking, and the monetisation will build,” he said.

He gave a large part of credit for the success of the digital subscription model to the Times’ integrated sales teams that constantly rethink the way news is presented. Many media organisations are debating whether or not to integrate, but for the Times, Sulzberger said the combining of digital and print journalists has made a tremendous difference in business.

This multi-level structure can create problems however, Sulzberger said. The matrix-like structure of the New York Times often makes response time to consumer and technology trends slower.

“Our decisions are usually right, but they should have been made a year earlier,” Sulzberger said.

Building the partnership between print and digital has been a challenge, Sulzberger said, but they’ve done it. “We are in the process of testing and learning, and all of us have to be there,” Sulzberger said. “And if you’re not occasionally failing, you’re not trying hard enough.”

While Sulzberger talked extensively about the Times’ participation in blazing the digital frontier, he reiterated the value of the print edition to consumers as well. In 2000, the New York Times had 640,000 people who had been receiving the publication for two years or more. Sulzberger said that today the number of engaged readers now tops 820,000 and continues to grow.

“Print still has vitality to it,” he said. “And as long as it does, we will meet the needs of our users.”

In response to a question from the audience, Sulzberger said the Times would not offer the print version for free at some point in the future: “Our journalism is valuable and people are paying for it.”

He said that the Times has been aggressive in its pricing and receives significant revenue that is important to fulfilling its journalistic mission.

Sulzberger said repeatedly throughout the Q&A that going forward, the focus of the Times’ strategy is the consumer, and creating the best user experience possible across all platforms.

“The ideal user experience is that they engage with our journalism in multiple ways,” Sulzberger said.

Sulzberger’s final advice to those present at the conference was that innovation should take place both from the outside and within, but to never lose sight of the principles of journalism.

“We’ve got to always remember that we are about the core of our journalism,” he said, adding that media companies need to remain flexible and be willing to embrace change.

“And that is that challenge that everyone in this room faces,” he said.

INNOVATION wins 'Newspaper of the Year' for the 5th year in a row

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 19:03:32 +0100

This time the winner is Diario de Noticias in Funchal, Madeira which has won 2010 'European Newspaper of the Year Award - Local Paper.'

Diaro de Noticias was relaunched three years ago by INNOVATION after repositioning the brand editorially and commercially and re-designing the entire paper.

According to the German-based jury:

"The Diario de Notícias gets its special charm through very diverse designed front pages and the section double pages:

The front pages are designed every day in a new way. Uniformity is not manifested, but rather new ideas through which contents are represented visually.

The first page of each section always opens with a double page, which creates a clear guidance for the reader. Page two and three introduce the local pages that often cover the hot topic of the day.

Conclusion: The Diario de Notícias is between a newspaper and a magazine. This makes it an exemplary local newspaper for Europe."

The New Diario de Sao Paulo

Fri, 15 Oct 2010 13:51:20 +0100

A newspaper that looks and feels like a quality daily-news-magazine.

Sophisticated, well designed and compelling.

A new kind of young newspaper for new and young readers.

It offers an entirely new and ground-breaking architecture for Brazil with three rhythms: dia a dia, viva and esportes and two-speed reading: microbriefs, briefs and deep and analytical reads.

Innovation defined and developed the editorial model, design model, workflows and strategy.

Oxford Tablet Summit - Key Messages

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:13:07 +0100

Some key messages from the Oxford Tablet Summit by INNOVATION

• Paper will stay. It will never die. But the business model and content proposition has changed. Tablets offer publishers an opportunity to recapture the reading of a defined product, with defined pagination, frequency and quality. Online you browse, on tablets people read.

• We have to reinvent the way we tell stories. It’s the journalism, not the platform. News you can read, watch and touch.

• Produce more for those who pay and less for those who do not pay.

• Paper as premium, tablet as premium, online and mobile as mass medium. Haute couture vs pret à porter.

• INNOVATION value equation: Who, What, Where, When – comodity – free; How, Why and What’s Next – premium – paid.

• Cooperation is not integration. Digital is the only multimedia platform. Change from media companies to information engines.

• The iPad cannot save the news media industry, but the news media industry might just save the iPad.

• We live in an age of constant digital content distractions. The iPad is the world’s greatest distraction. But strong content can combat distraction. Newspapers and magazines have that content to focus attention and help people disconnect and get back to reading a publication from beginning to end, rather than just browsing.

• We have to promote the integration of journalist, graphic and technology profiles inside the newsroom in order to empower the possibilities of our everyday work.

• Become applications creators, stress flexibility, enhance the user experience, organize your IT staff to deal with the day-today, expand the technical staff’s horizons.

• Tablets are one step more in the evolution to a multiplatform brand. We need a multimedia newsroom to create content for the new formats.

• CMS systems are the multimedia ‘printing plants’ of the future.

Are you ready for the change? Let’s check:

1. How can you handle new platforms when your newsroom still thinks print first?

2. How can you handle new platforms when your website people still think online first?

3. How can you handle new platforms when print and web newsrooms are still not integrated?

4. How can you handle new platforms when your sales people still don’t sell multimedia packages?

5. How can you handle new platforms when your journalists and managers don’t talk to each other?

6. How can you handle new platforms when your IT people want to control everything?

7. How can you handle new platforms when your visual journalists are still monomedia storytellers?

8. How can you handle new platforms when your journalists are not able to create unique, relevant and compelling content?

9. How can you handle new platforms when you are not organized as a 24/7 multimedia operation?

10. How can you handle new platforms when you don’t spend money on research, training and innovation?

• We have few storytellers able to write code (and we need more coders willing to tell stories).

• Good apps are non-linear, you can access content from anywhere in the app.

• Good apps don’t require the user to learn, if you need instructions then it’s poorly designed.

• Content is everything, designing for the tablet begins with sketching the outline of an article.

• Good storytelling is all about the diferent layers of information that your readers will peel through your articles.

• New digital narratives and new grammar: Each piece of information must take it’s place in a chain that makes the article an amazing storytelling experience for your reader. Most important, ideas. Finding the best way to tell a story.

How we can help with your iPad

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:05:06 +0100

If your organisation is considering what to do to have a popular and profitable iPad presence, INNOVATION can help.

We are already developing the first iPad products with a radical new content architecture, navigation and design

Digital News Design

INNOVATION is a pioneer in the creation and development of digital narratives and visual journalism, with decades of award-winning concepts, designs and products.

We have been commissioned the development of two major global newspaper iPad versions as well as three leading consumer magazines.

We have put together our best team of visual editors, multimedia journalists, designers and developers to expand our Digital News Design team so they can help our clients launch new iPad products in 2010.

This team is made up of the winners of ‘Best Newspaper Concept and Design’ in Europe and the World for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The team has a demonstrable record of success with its product conception and creation – success measured in notable increases in circulation and sales for each award-winning project.

You Cannot Pour Old Wine Into New Bottles

We believe you cannot pour old wine into new bottles. We believe the iPad is a new medium, a new platform which requires mastering and producing new digital narratives. The iPad and tablets require a new journalistic grammar, new workflows and innovative storytelling techniques.

Newsroom Integration

Producing content for the iPad also requires a new newsroom organisation where integrated teams can produce quality content without duplicating resources, overwhelming staff and diluting quality. We are world leaders in the integration and design of newsrooms and we have developed workflows and organisations that can help you do it all – including an iPad.

Business Unusual

We also believe, the iPad is business unusual and it requires a well-defined model for paying for its content. Our management team have developed methods and guidelines on how to get consumers to pay for iPad content from the very beginning at price-sensitive costs and with clear payment methods beyond iTunes.

If indeed you want to enter and embrace the iPad age, INNOVATION can help.

i, Best european national newspaper of the year

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:33:00 +0100

A few minutes ago, the 11th European Newspaper Awards were announced and, i, the fantastic new paper from Lisbon is the big winner.

The European Newspaper Awards are organized by Norbert Küpper from Meerbusch (Germany) with the journalism magazines “Medium Magazin” from Frankfurt/Main, “Der Österreichische Journalist” from Salzburg (Austria) and “Schweizer Journalist” from Wilen/Wil (Switzerland).

A few weeks ago i was awarded as one the best designed newspaper of Portugal and Spain of the year.

Now i gets this European Newspaper Award.

This is not just a design contest.

The European Award includes “design and concept” and i is unique in both areas.

The Jury statement said;

“i” persuaded the jury through its special innovative approach. Newly established, the newspaper can start full of energy. It is precisely this that makes “informação” fascinating in all fields: Photography, page layout, alternative types of journalistic articles and innovative sections – completely focusing on the power of new ideas. All in all, a newspaper is evolved quintessentially, an all-round innovation. It almost goes without saying: The homepage www.ionline.pt has a similarly innovative appearance as the printed newspaper.”

INNOVATION’s Javier Errea has won right now more European Newspaper Awards than any other design consultant in the world.

Read here the INNOVATION MANIFESTO FOR i.

See here and here, a large selection of its best pages.

And here you can find a interview with its Art Director, Nick Mrozowski.

Yes, i is becoming the most innovative newspaper done by the INNOVATION team in the last 20 years.

A real revolution.

A needed revolution.

Launched just six months ago during the worst economic times…

A lesson for the newspaper industry.

And here are the real winners.

A young newsroom.

With energetic team of editors and managers.

And a brave company, Grupo Lena, investing in times of crisis.

The Award will be presented to i during the 2010 European Newspaper Congress (Vienna, April, 25-27).
