1. Tell us a little bit about what iPublish does.

iPublish Media partners with media companies to grow their bottom line by providing self-serve print, digital and social media advertising fulfillment. From public notices and obituaries to classified categories, our software drives front-end sales and powers back-end integration, quickly saving media companies time and money.

2. What problem does your company solve for a local media company?

Newspapers can sell advertising 24/7 while increasing overall volume and margins. Customers love buying DIY on-demand, at their convenience. So everyone is happy!

3. What makes iPublish unique?

With multiple verticals, anyone can place any ad in any category in minutes with a single log-in. It’s also an easy way to power a central call center. No extra training or multiple systems are required. And we always use the local media’s brand. 

Another difference is that AdPortals are more than just order entry. The software gets the ad from point A to point B – from the sale, payment, accounting and on to wherever it is distributed – all hands free. Facebook? Check. Online? Check. Print? Check. 

Then, there is the sheer size of our reach; we simply dominate categories like obituaries in Google search results.

Finally, one of iPublish Media’s biggest differentiators is our dedicated and agile team that works with media partners. We have unprecedented tenure and the most responsive customer service in the industry. Don’t take our word for it – ask any customer!

4. For people who know about iPublish, what’s new that you would like them to know?

Recently, AdPortal Public Notices has been getting attention! iPublish Media just implemented a statewide public notice marketplace for the California News Publishers Association, capublicnotice.com. The new platform gives the public greater ease of accessing legal notices and posting them across the state.

For any public notice client, iPublish Media makes placing public notices a snap. We input regulations and requirements for each market, so the forms almost fill themselves. Newspapers can also access a bulk uploader and automated affidavit processing. Yes, it is SOC2 compliant too! 

5. Paint the landscape for local media companies. 

Clients often say that workflow is one of their biggest challenges. They want to cut the expense and drudgery of unneeded tasks to focus on content and manage key relationships. And that means choosing the right technology and the right partner. 

Our media company partners are already saving time on administrative tasks, improving processes, and increasing revenue with their AdPortals.

iPublish Media makes the choice simple and works with media companies to achieve their goals. Imagine that your website can sell ads in any category, take payment, log the activity into your backend system, and deliver the ad where it’s going.  

Let your humans do what humans are supposed to do: connect with marquee clients, provide live support, and, yes, cover the news! We have your back – and your backend – covered.
