The Information's One-Day Media Business Bootcamp

The Information Accelerator is offering a one-day media business bootcamp for entrepreneurs and professionals who want to diversify their business models and get profitable.

The bootcamp is for entrepreneurs and high-level media professionals who work across subjects (news, sports, entertainment) and formats (text, video). The course is a condensed version of our four-day bootcamp for companies in The Information Accelerator.

  • How to think about your subscriber funnel and the most important techniques around lead generation and conversion.
  • The latest in subscription technology and strategies for deciding between vendors versus going at it alone.
  • How to build an engaged community across all channels.
  • Also hear from speakers Kevin Systrom (Co-founder, Instagram) and Alex Mather (CEO, The Athletic).
