Deliver more value to your newsroom with better newsletters and subscriber onboarding
I help newsrooms develop email and subscriber strategies, so they can grow reader revenue, reduce churn and build loyal audiences.

How do you decide which changes will deliver the most meaningful impact?
More important: How will you know when you are successful?
Newsrooms are looking for ways to increase engagement, find new revenue streams and build a sustainable future. They are swimming in data and analytics — but how do you decide what moves will create the biggest impact?
I work to align the goals of the newsroom to the needs of the readers. When we start by listening to the needs & desires of audiences, together we can build a process to test new ideas and measure effectiveness with the right data.
For more than 20 years, I've delivered the small changes that make big impact for readers and newsrooms.
What customers say
Cory Brown’s work to help the Austin Monitor better understand both its audience, and how to grow its audience has been instrumental to our success. As I’m fond of saying, he’s made us smarter in a number of critical ways with a careful, hands-on approach that left me feeling like I’d learned a whole lot about the direction of our industry.
The Secret Sauce
How I work
My primary goal is to build shared understanding around the problems we are trying to solve, and how we will know if we are successful.
This requires a data-driven approach, but it also requires qualitative analysis. Numbers only tell part of the story.
Your readers have the insights that drive long-term success.
Discovery
I don't have all the answers. If I did, I'd charge more. 🙂 However, I've built processes to uncover actionable, testable insights that align the goals of the newsroom with the needs of the audience.
Transparency
I show my work. Insights and analytics aren't helpful without shared understanding of why they are important to the newsroom.
Originality
I do my own work, and I'm not bringing cookie-cutter fixes. Every newsroom is different. What worked in one newsroom may be a dead end in another.
