  • “Using Inmobi Audiences, We Were Able to Tailor Our Targeting to Reach the Highest Value Consumers” - Angad Grover TRADING MANAGER
    Case Study “Using InMobi Audiences, we were able to tailor our targeting to reach the highest value consumers” - Angad Grover TRADING MANAGER Background News Corp Australia is one of Australia's largest media companies, and the leading digital destination in the country for news, food, lifestyle, property, style, sports and business. The publicly listed company's portfolio of newspapers and magazines are among the most trusted and well-known in the country, with brands such as The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, Vogue Australia and GQ Australia leading the way. News Xtend, the brand’s digital marketing division, was built in 2014 to help empower brands to create and deliver powerful digital campaigns. Meriton Suites, Australia’s largest owner-operator of hotel rooms (4,500+ suites) approached News Xtend to help expand their reach across five metro cities in Australia. With their award-winning hotels continually ranking at the top in these five locations, Meriton wanted to capitalize on the opportunity and develop an approach to gain new visibility by targeting specific user groups across advertising demand-side platforms (DSPs) to promote reservations and scale growth. The Challenge Meriton Suites wanted to drive increased awareness and boost conversions among foreign expats and international travelers. The team wanted to target two groups - business professionals and families with kids, as they were Meriton’s highest-value customer groups since they were the most likely to reserve rooms, and reach them with targeted content to drive awareness and inspire purchase. For this, the team needed a highly tailored strategy to analyze and track behaviors that would suggest a high likelihood of interest in international travel and accommodation services.

The big picture view is that the news they report on clearly supports and favors keeping and preserving the status quo and thus the wealth and power of the largest companies and industries on the planet…not the common man. The TV networks, websites, newspapers, magazines owned by Rupert Murdoch have been at best been reluctant to publish or report on anything that doesn’t support the various big businesses that continue to fund their media empire with advertising dollars.
