The Media Nut / Josh Sternberg / Jun 24, 2020
“As one media company leader told me, one of the problems of sponsored content is that the expectations of the deal will be a ‘home run.’ Editorial operations pump out hundreds of pieces of content per day. And not every one hits. So say you’re a media company and of the 100 stories you publish, 15 of them get tons of traffic. That’s a great rate for editorial. For advertisers who buy content programs, it’s a disaster.”
