Piano, a monetization and intelligence platform for media companies,

announced today the launch of Composer, a visual rules engine that

enables personalized experiences and business models for an unlimited

number of unique audience segments. Utilizing a simple drag-and-drop

interface, Composer empowers clients to quickly define specific audience

segments based on dozens of factors, including geography, device

attributes, page views, adblocker usage and behavioral feedback, and

then deliver personalized experiences to each. These business models can

then be multi-variant tested and measured in real time.

Designed for the new generation of data-driven media executives,

Composer is the first platform to allow media brands to develop, test,

optimize and deploy sophisticated paywall, ad blocking, and other

audience experiences with no coding required. Composer integrates

seamlessly with publishers’ existing payment, advertising, segmentation

and print subscription systems, or with Piano’s existing software suite,

to make time-to-market short. With a few clicks, a marketer can, for

example, create special offers for UK-based adblock users accessing

content from a mobile device; offer a set number of free articles for

users who agree to view a specific ad; or provide different subscription

options for users based on how they are segmented within a publisher’s

existing DMP provider.

“Composer makes it significantly easier for media companies to find and

implement the right monetization mix for their audiences based on actual

market performance,” said Piano CEO Trevor Kaufman. “By eliminating

technology resource costs and delays, publishers can focus on

identifying the revenue models that work best for their audience and

content. At Piano, we are dedicated to providing digital media

businesses with more agility, autonomy, and revenue, and Composer is a

substantial way we’re delivering on that vision.”

The Composer launch extends Piano’s leadership position in the content

monetization space as the provider-of-choice for the world’s largest

media companies. Piano’s more than 1,200 clients include Time Inc., NBC

Universal, Hearst, News Corp., Bonnier, The EW Scripps Company,

Postmedia Network and IBT Media.
