Reflecting on the highlights of the last 12 months or so for the team, Rook pointed out that the biggest wins have all been a long time coming, as the result of a lot of hard work.
“The big wins have been around executing our three-year commercial strategy, we’re starting to see that come into its own at the moment. If you cast your mind back three years, our client-direct approach was really anaemic, and I’d say we relied way too heavily on programmatic. For a brand like The Guardian, a premium publisher with a really attractive audience, it didn’t necessarily align,” he said.
