Fueled by its strong performance and growing demand for its automated content curation and delivery platform, PowerInbox has posted 22% year-over-year new customer growth with more than 700 publishers now using its platform. In response, the company has already grown its headcount by nearly 30% this year with plans to expand its roster an additional 40% by year’s end.
Email & Push Drive Engagement, Put Publishers in Control
Direct messaging channels like email and push notifications help publishers overcome their dependence on third-party referral platforms like Facebook and Google and take back control of their audience engagement to build stronger, trusted relationships with their subscribers.
Email also offers a unique monetization opportunity that adds a new revenue stream for publishers, and PowerInbox data shows that two-thirds of subscribers click on ads in emails from publishers they know and trust. During the pandemic, PowerInbox has continued to innovate on its email offering, adding a new 970×550 pixel optimized ad that is performing extremely well, delivering 2x the RPM for publishers.
