Mobile Still an Untapped Opportunity for B-to-B Media

 

Folio

Industry Dive CEO Sean Griffey on what publishers should focus on.

We’re all aware of the rapid ascent of mobile use—particularly for accessing content. Yet, many publishers in b-to-b media have yet to build out a strategy that fully embraces the platform as both a dedicated asset and revenue generator.

This is precisely why Sean Griffey [pictured], along with Ryan Willumson and Eli Dickinson, startedIndustry Dive, a mobile content producer and tech platform. The company has been making aggressive moves to build out mobile-first content verticals and has also begun licensing its technology to help other b-to-b publishers build their own products.

Griffey, who will be a speaker at FOLIO: and min’s MediaMashup summit on April 16 at the Grand Hyatt in New York, shares some of his insights on mobile publishing and what you’re missing if you don’t yet have a strategy in place.

Overall, the response to mobile is eerily similar to how b-to-b responded to the internet in general. When users first started moving online in the 90s, b-to-b media companies had two main responses. They either ignored online because they didn’t see money in it or they immediately tried to replicate their print magazines.
