We reach over 386 k+ unique devices globally every week. Take full advantage of this digital transition and follow our premium readers as they engage with The Economist on tablets and mobiles.
We see great engagement rates on the digital ads. The tap through rate is 2.4%, on average (and 6% on the cover position).
Our Digital Edition ads are embedded within the app and not ad-served – they are therefore immune to ad blocking software. Our reporting capabilities include heat maps that allow us to see how users are interacting with ads and use those learnings to improve user experience.
