Automatically surface the right content to the right readers with personalised reading lists
By personalising distribution you can ensure that every reader receives relevant content, optimising article value.

JAMES Personalised Reading Lists – The Times Case
JAMES was born as a collaborative project between Twipe and The Times of London. After receiving Google DNI funding, a group of 22 people worked for a year in fine-tuning a product that could help accelerate digital subscription growth. Over 100,000 subscribers of The Times were served with individualised newsletters compiled from the content of a daily edition.


Results
The Times saw a 49% decrease in churn rate on the cohort exposed to daily emails personalised by JAMES, with the highest impact being observed on low to medium engaged subscribers. JAMES continues to be used at The Times and The Sunday Times. We are now bringing this technology to other publishers as well.
