At the 16th World Editors Forum in Hyderabad last week, Martim Figueiredo, editor-in-chief of Portugal's new daily i spoke about the paper's brand-building and advertising strategy. He explained that the team had decided to launch in print because "paper is the fastest way to build on relevance and to build on an information brand." However, the next step will involve jumping to a third platform, one that is not online based, he said. Another challenge is to focus the commercial team on selling more targeted advertising to small audience groups, "as small as 1000 people."
