SWM Appoints Shoebridge Knowles Media Group

Seven West Media (ASX: SWM) today announced the appointment of Shoebridge Knowles Media Group (SKMG) to define and drive the group’s corporate communications and publicity strategies working alongside SWM’s existing team.

SKMG, a strategic communications consultancy established in May 2018 by partners Neil Shoebridge and Andrew Knowles, will commence working for SWM at a date to be advised.

SWM Managing Director and CEO, James Warburton, said: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with SKMG. Having worked closely together with Neil and Andrew over a number of years, we know that their vast experience, understanding and enthusiasm for our industry will make a big difference to our business.”

SWM Chief Marketing Officer, Charlotte Valente, said: “SKMG will play crucial role as we continue to transform our television, newspaper and digital businesses, and pursue our audience-first content-led growth strategy. Their combined strengths will ensure we establish the right structure, strategies and processes to supercharge our team and realise our transformation at pace.”

Mr Shoebridge said: “With strong and successful brands across television, publishing and digital, SWM is one of Australia’s best and smartest content companies and a business with enormous potential. We are honoured to join the SWM team and be part of the transformation of the group and its future success.”

Mr Knowles said: “When Neil and I launched SKMG, James and Charlotte were our first clients. Between the success we’ve enjoyed with them in the past, the privilege to work with the rest of SWM’s well-regarded leadership team and the opportunity to continue building one of Australia’s most venerable media groups, this partnership just makes sense. We can’t wait to get to work.”

SWM Chief People & Culture Officer Katie McGrath has written a new book Deadly Earth, which was published last Wednesday (October 7) by Hardie Grant. It is the true story of her parents’ deaths (in their thirties) as a result of exposure to radioactive waste at their home in Sydney’s Hunters Hill, as well as what happened to her and her siblings after becoming an orphan at age four.

The talks led to nothing, as a Seven merger with Ten isn’t legally possible. However, the SMH points out that the fact that Stokes discussed a sale of Seven is an indication that he is looking to sell Seven West.

Interesting.

Discovery might be interested in a sister network for Three NZ now they’ve acquired that?

Not this again! It will never happen! 7 will never be sold to a US company.

Wow would not have expected this. It would never happen anyway because of the strong ownership regulations in place.

Hard to imagine what 7 would look like after seeing only a glimpse of what happened at 10 so far…

SWM and Taboola strike multi-year partnership deal

Seven West Media (ASX: SWM) today announced that it had signed an innovative, multi-year partnership with Taboola, the world’s leading content discovery tool, to enhance activation opportunities across SWM’s digital platforms.

Integrated across all SWM’s relevant cross-platform assets, including 7NEWS.com.au, The West Australian, PerthNow and numerous regional titles, the partnership will drive the activation of a raft of different content experiences, capabilities and insight tools. As a result, it allows SWM to maximise traffic, grow subscribers and increase audience engagement across the network.

At this heart of the partnership is 7NEWS.com.au, which will be championing Taboola’s content discovery platform. To respond to 7NEWS.com.au’s growing desire for better content personalisation, as well as the prioritisation of user experience, the partnership will also incorporate the “Taboola Feed” product. This is a vertical-scrolling feed that enables users to access more of the content they love, such as feature articles or in-feed video. This experience mirrors how users consume content across social networks, encouraging them to stay on site longer by delivering a more relevant feed, better reflecting what the individual is interested in and ensuring users can find more of what they love on 7NEWS.com.au.

SWM will also showcase “Taboola Newsroom” as part of the partnership. This provides SWM’s news editorial teams with unrivalled and actionable real-time data about content performance, as well as unique insights on trending topics from Taboola’s publisher network. Taboola’s “Audience Exchange” will round out the suite of services, offering an infrastructure that helps publishers manage and optimise the flow of traffic across their network of sister and partner sites.

Nicole Bence, SWM Digital Network Sales Director, said: “We’re thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Taboola, strengthening our digital portfolio and offering in market. Taboola’s discovery platform will be a headline feature as we expand our presence in the delivery of branded content. With 7RED’s recent expansion into short form and native content production fueled by insights from 7REDiQ, we are now creating more content than ever before. This partnership not only helps us scale our production capabilities and delivery across all screens and devices but will create necessary efficiencies through the addition of Taboola’s actionable data and smart insights into our eco-system.”

Adam Singolda, CEO and Founder at Taboola, said: “We are excited to partner with a powerful media group like SWM, and work together to drive engagement, revenue, and audience growth across all of the various digital properties. There is a massive opportunity for premium publishers and content creators to engage with audiences in a way that is deeply personal and creates long- term digital relationships that are based on value and trust. We are looking forward to collaborating on the journey with SWM and power those ‘moments of next’ where users are open to discover things they may like and never knew existed.”

some of what was said is a pile of crock. 7 knew that Netflix and other streaming services was coming and should have done something about it ages ago instead of whinging about it now.
