Our take
Dow Jones is a global leader in news and business intelligence, powering a range of well-respected brands, including The Wall Street Journal, Financial News, MarketWatch, and more. The company delivers its content to consumers through a range of formats, such as print, digital, mobile, and live events.
As companies seek to draw Millennials and Gen Z consumers to their platforms, adaptability is vital, since they are driving the demand for innovative tools and techniques, as the world evolves toward the digital-first era. Dow Jones has proven its ability to meet product optimization challenges with its reimagined Factiva offering that includes a list of new features, such as personalized results, an easy-to-use modern interface, and faster free-text search, all with a mobile-first design that adapts to any device.
The company has also focused on new product innovation by expanding its portfolio of capabilities and partnerships, further expanding into AI-powered personalization technologies and ongoing digital transformation. Already a powerhouse in the market, Dow Jones is well set to capitalize on future expansion and innovation opportunities and between 2019 and 2024, doubled its digital subscription base from 2.43 million to 4.86 million.
