CASE STUDY
Every property ZoomerMedia added ramped faster than the one before
The relationship started with one property and one content feed. By 2026 the same workspace covered the group's entire portfolio, and each new property onboarded faster than the last.

HIGHLIGHTS
Background
The relationship started the way most do: one property, one content feed, one campaign to report.
By 2026, the same workspace covered the group's entire portfolio: the flagship city-news network, a second major city publication, a stable of legacy lifestyle and broadcast brands, and the newer digital titles. In total, 17 platforms and more than 130 connected accounts, from articles and organic social to ad servers and member newsletters, all reporting in one place.
The Challenge
For most portfolio media groups, every new property means a new reporting stack: new tooling, new templates, new training, and a new set of numbers that do not line up with the rest of the group.
The Solution
The expansion pattern is the story
The second property onboarded in year three and reached roughly 2 in 5 of the flagship's campaign volume in its first full year, and 3 in 5 by year three. The legacy brand portfolio came aboard in year four and roughly doubled its measured campaign content within two years.
The most recent lifestyle title connected in year five and hit about a quarter of flagship volume within twelve months, more than a 20x jump over its pilot year. And expansion accelerated rather than decayed: roughly two thirds of all connected sources were added in the final two years of the relationship.
The Impact
Onboarding a property is a one-time cost. Once the reporting workflow, the templates, and the sales motion exist, the next property inherits all of it. That is why each ramp was steeper than the last, and why the platform footprint was still growing in 2026.
