OUR IMPACT

Supporting EL PAÍS on the path from 120,000 to 350,000 digital subscribers
We began our partnership with EL PAÍS in late 2021 when they had around 120,000 subscribers. In the 6 months following our work with them, we were delighted to see that they had grown their subscriptions by 50% - achieving 180,000 subscribers in June of 2022. Now EL PAÍS is the top-ranking Spanish-language media outlet, with more than 350,000 digital subscribers.
How did they achieve such rapid growth and how did FT Strategies help?
