What Reader Intel does

From a list of emails to a room full of people you know

Reader Intel turns an anonymous-looking subscriber list into a picture of who is actually reading: job titles, employers, seniority and expertise, matched to what they read and which ads they clicked.

How it works

Three steps from reader list to audience intelligence

  1. Connect your reader list

    We take your digital edition subscriber list and the engagement data your eMagazines reader already collects. No new tags, no reader-facing changes.

  2. We match and enrich

    Each reader is matched to public professional information, tagged with your market's signals and rated high, medium or low confidence with a one-line reason.

  3. Review, then act

    Review confidence ratings and sources, then use profiles, rollups and ad reports in sales, editorial and events.

Use cases

Sell smarter. Prove value. Know who to call.

"12,000 circulation" tells an advertiser very little. "210 formulation chemists read the last issue, including readers at 9 of the top 20 brands" closes deals.

  • Ad sales

    Find potential advertisers

    The company rollup shows which firms read heavily but don't advertise. A supplier with 20 engaged R&D readers and no ad is a warm lead.

  • Ad sales

    Build sample audiences for pitches

    Show prospects what they'd reach with company-level numbers, not names. Far stronger than a circulation figure.

  • Ad sales

    Prove value to current advertisers

    Report who engaged with an ad, not just how many, to support renewals and higher rates.

  • Events

    Identify VIPs

    Spot the most senior, most engaged readers for invitations, advisory boards, roundtables and premium offers.

  • Editorial

    Find experts and contributors

    Readers already flagged as speakers, authors or award winners are natural sources for columns, webinars and quotes.

  • Marketing

    Find influencers

    Readers with public reach in your industry can be offered early access or co-promotion to extend your audience.

  • Editorial

    Shape editorial decisions

    Knowing your most engaged readers are R&D managers at mid-size brands tells editors what to commission more of.

  • Circulation

    Retain and renew

    High-value readers whose engagement drops get flagged for a personal touch before they lapse.

For advertisers

Report who engaged, not just how many

Every ad gets a report at company and seniority level. Advertisers see the audience they paid for, which supports renewals and higher rates without exposing individual readers.

Data and confidence

Confidence-rated. Source-linked. Transparent.

Reader Intel only uses publicly available professional information. Every match carries a high, medium or low rating and a plain-English reason, so you always know how much weight to put on it.

  • High

    Email domain, name and title all agree across two or more public sources.

  • Medium

    Strong name and employer match, but the current title could not be confirmed.

  • Low

    Personal email address; one possible public profile. Flagged so you can decide how to use it.
