The power of extension

Media is in constant evolution. Media sources become brands. Brands become media sources. The common factor of success: strong editorial production and editorial content or, as we call it, editorializing. Successful editorializing is based on a few key factors: effective strategy, strong positioning, a central pledge, high function, and the ability to add value, plus innovative technology and the relevance of the used medium, which lead to RESULTS. No longer are 30-second advertising films or simple elevator pitches adequate, businesses today need much more: an extension of editorial capacities. Headlines that make consumers want to read, articles that respond to currently buzzing topics, and content that keeps readers engaged; these are the drivers of engagement and reflect editorial-based strategies. These strengths, or powers, as we prefer to call them, are what lead to results.
“Advertising is a sprint, editorial is a marathon”
The power of extension works. The Washington post overtook the New York Times thanks to Jeff Bezos’ massive investment in editorial, technology and market innovation. “Net à Porter” turned itself into a recognized source of information on fashion, and subsequently become a star of e-commerce. Red Bull turned itself into a press agency. Facebook has become a news source. Further proof of the impact of editorial, our clients see strong ROE, Returns on Editorialization. Since launching its own internationally distributed magazine on Paris, Paris Worldwide, Paris Aéroport is able to a directly engage with tourists; recent polls show a satisfaction rating of 93%. Thanks to a new regionally-adapted section in its magazines, ELLE has strengthened its audience, its subscription rates and its advertising revenues. Editorial is welcome advertising, appreciated by the consumer, allowing it to withstand ad blockers and have increased impact. To editorialize is to analyze a situation, to strongly express a point of view, to convince by generating conversation, to use technology to get your message heard, and, ultimately, to become a leader.
