With both the dream of monetising reach and the digital advertising model going up in smoke for publishers, several speakers at this year’s Digital Innovators’ Summit in Berlin turned their focus to alternative revenue streams. Apart from subscription models, ecommerce received special attention.

Innovation takes many forms. ForThe Netherlands's Libelle, innovation saved the 84-year-old brand as it encountered declining newsstand sales and subscriptions. For eleven of CNI's Vogues, innovative approaches to Instagram increased engagement and followers. For ALT.dk in Denmark, innovation meant turning Egmont Publishing's eight women's magazines into a one-stop digital destination for women. And, at Immediate Media's Olive magazine, innovation helped transform the small but mighty 15-year-old publication into a multi-platform brand. Each of these magazine media outlined their innovative approaches at the Digital Innovator’s Summit in Berlin.

Robb Report launched a new brand for women that carves out a niche in the luxury women’s sector. The media brand, called Muse, will be printed bi-annually and live online at MusebyRobbReport.com.

In a world where politicians are trying to regulate an environment they don’t understand, current European Union eprivacy regulations will not only deprive publishers of income but deteriorate the user experience for internet users, warned Oliver von Wersch, founder and CEO of Vonwerschpartner Digital Strategies in Germany during the recent Digital Innovators’ Summit in Berlin. 

“I don’t just consider myself editor-in-chief of a weekly magazine, but of an entire content organisation. I became editor-in-chief a little over three years ago, and I remember when I was growing up, I felt that Entertainment Weekly set the agenda for that particular week’s conversation, like this is what we need to be psyched about in entertainment. So, I really tried to move that thought process into the 21st century. And I really want to give readers something on the cover of this magazine and inside the magazine that they can’t get on the internet, that they can’t find on anyone’s social media feed, because of what our access allows.” Henry Goldblatt, EIC, Entertainment Weekly
