Insticator has replaced Openweb as Empire Media Group’s sole provider for engagement solutions executed through their multifaceted product shelf, including community and commenting platforms across all of EMG’s properties.
Insticator, the global leader in engagement solutions for publishers announced today the launch of its new partnership with Empire Media Group, Inc. (EMG).
Insticator is now serving as EMG’s exclusive partner for engagement solutions. Developing and implementing custom interactive experiences across all of EMG’s sites:
- – OK! Magazine
- – Radar Online
- – Grazia
- – Morning Honey
- – Women’s Golf Journal
- – The Royal Observer and more.
Insticator has replaced Openweb and their single-solution strategy with a cohesive engagement strategy utilizing Insticator’s suite of products, with a direct focus on EMG’s community and commenting platforms.
Insticator’s intent: to yield improved user experience and revenue opportunities by enhancing performance and fully customizing moderation capabilities across all of EMG’s community pages – leveraging the industry’s latest AI tools alongside human moderation in order to better address complex challenges faced with community moderation.
Benefits of this partnership
Through this partnership, EMG sites will evolve to revenue-rich engagement platforms that present customized experiences for their site’s respective niche audiences – delivered directly to their pages.
This partnership also provides the additional benefit of unlocking invaluable first-party data collected through Insticator’s suite of engagement and community products while allowing for greater control and addressability of their inventory.
Insticator, in its tenth year of operation, has become the global leader in cohesive engagement and monetization solutions for publishers by growing its multifaceted suite of audience-centric products; from content engagement units serving trivia, polling, and content recirculation to customized commenting platforms.
We’ve been impressed with the Empire Media team’s approach to editorial content and user experience. We’re very excited about helping them to deepen their audience engagement, grow first-party data collection, and increase monetization. They have a wealth of first-party data that we’re helping them utilize and pull insights from.
When EMG was in search of a comprehensive solution to drive engagement and gather 1st party data across our sites, I knew we needed a strong partner who would be able to provide multiple products, drive strong revenue and grant us access to rich first-party data and provide us with added value beyond product alone. With Insticator, we will be able to achieve all of these, while combating toxicity in commenting and keeping it all under one roof.
