the strategic impact of targeting

When French media company Media-Participations acquired a controlling stake in Catholic lifestyle website Aleteia.org, they faced significant challenges. The platform was underperforming, with stagnant audience growth and declining revenue streams.

Our partnership began with a comprehensive assessment of their business model and vision. Through rigorous market analysis conducted over several months, we:

  • Mapped the global market landscape

  • Developed precise audience segmentation based on both demographic potential and commercial viability

  • Identified a strategic pivot to a more sustainable target audience capable of supporting an ad-based revenue model

This fundamental strategic shift catalyzed a complete transformation across multiple business dimensions:

  • Reimagined media and advertising offerings

  • Refreshed brand positioning

  • Optimized distribution channels

  • Revitalized marketing communications

The results were transformative: over a three-year period, Aleteia.org achieved remarkable growth with a 667% increase in audience reach and an extraordinary 878% surge in advertising revenue.
