What people really want to read: Harnessing data science to power the digital transformation

The Digital Revenue Initiative (DRIVE) brings dpa together with the business consultancy Highberg and 30 regional publishers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland to boost digital subscriptions. In doing so, DRIVE focuses on the power of data science and the strength of its community.

Only by working together is it possible to draw so many insights from data in such a short period of time. This is what makes DRIVE a success factor in the digital transformation of any publisher. The unique and courageous teamwork of DRIVE was awarded “Best in Show” as the world's most successful initiative at the INMA Global Media Awards 2021.
