B2B strategies that grow enterprise value
B2B subscriptions and licences are becoming an increasingly important driver of sustainable growth for publishers. Yet many organisations find it difficult to scale this model effectively or to capture the full value of enterprise clients.
At FT Strategies, we help you design and optimise B2B subscription strategies that balance commercial performance with customer relationships. Drawing on the Financial Times’ own experience in building and expanding its corporate subscriber base, we work with teams to refine propositions, pricing, sales and engagement models.
Our services include B2B proposition and packaging design, sales and prospecting strategy, account management and retention, licence analytics and team capability building. Whether you are launching a new offer or expanding an established one, we help you create a B2B model that drives predictable growth and long-term client value.

Developing a clear subscriber strategy to double B2B subscribers
A leading French financial newspaper saw a major opportunity to grow its B2B revenue but needed a clear strategy to capture market share and scale effectively.
FT Strategies partnered with the publisher to design a roadmap for B2B monetisation, drawing on the Financial Times’ own experience of building a world-class enterprise business. Through a series of workshops and in-depth analysis we helped the client refine its proposition, pricing and customer engagement model while benchmarking performance against global best practice.
