Built for Publishers, Trusted by B2B: Data That Drives Revenue

Turning Industry Challenges into Revenue Opportunities

The publishing and media industry is at a crossroads. Print revenues are shrinking, digital advertising is dominated by tech giants, and audiences are harder to reach than ever. Yet, within these challenges lies opportunity - publishers sit on a goldmine of first-party data that, when activated correctly, can fuel new revenue streams, better audience engagement, and deeper advertiser relationships.

At LeverageLab, we’ve spent decades in the publishing and media industry. We know the landscape, the struggles, and - most importantly - the solutions. Our data-driven approach helps publishers unlock the full potential of their audience data, transforming it into monetizable insights and B2B-quality leads that drive real business outcomes.

The Challenges: Why Traditional Publishing Models Are Breaking

Publishers today face a perfect storm of disruption:

• Declining Print Revenues – As print ad budgets shrink, digital alternatives must generate sustainable revenue.
• The Platform Squeeze – Google, Facebook, and Amazon control over 70% of digital ad spend, leaving publishers competing for the leftovers​.
• Subscriber Growth & Retention – Paid content models struggle to scale, with high churn rates and rising customer acquisition costs.
• Data Silos & Underutilization – Publishers collect vast amounts of audience data, but without the right strategy, it remains untapped potential​.
• Advertisers Demanding More – B2B and B2C brands expect precision targeting and measurable outcomes, forcing publishers to prove the ROI of their ad offerings.

Without a first-party data strategy, many publishers are leaving millions in potential revenue on the table.
