What Mather Economics customers say:
Head of innovative subscriptions at Le Monde Lou Grasser said: “Working with Mather Economics on subscriber revenue forecasting has proven to be especially effective in improving Le Monde’s business strategy. The experience and dexterity of their teams on the topic coupled with their great knowledge of the US and European markets convinced us of the benefits of their solution to build a stronger business strategy.”
Former SVP of Insider Selma Stern added: “Mather has helped us quantify our efforts which has led to tremendous growth post-COVID. Over the years, we have heard…you need to do A/B testing, dynamic pricing is probably also a good idea, and you need to make your user experience as frictionless as possible, but… it’s just not that simple. Mather has helped us quantify our efforts which have led to tremendous growth in 2020 and sustained success in 2021.”
“We have had huge growth over three years in pricing. I highly encourage dynamic pricing. You have to really look where a customer lives, what they are currently paying you, and not fall back on a one-size-fits-all approach”, said Laurie Truitt, the VP of global consumer growth of TIME magazine.
The vice president and chief revenue officer of a major US newsaper publisher said: “In the end the numbers always hold the weight of truth and that is what Mather was able to do for us. They helped us use our data in a way we had not been, in order to pinpoint our most viable options.”
VP of audience and circulation at the Las Vegas Review-Journal Chris Blaser said: “We’re extremely pleased with the performance and results being driven by Listener and associated data analytics tools. The Mather team has clearly leveraged their vast industry experience and insights to develop a product and tools that are critical to our success. And, as always, their responsiveness to our needs, support, and engagement are without peer.”
