Media companies can no longer afford to focus on a single channel. And driving audience, engagement and ROI for advertisers is top of mind no matter the platform. What are the best strategies and tactics that deserve your attention and limited resources?

Simkins_HeadshotLaura Simkins, COO at Afar Media, will share her experiences on launching in the crowded travel and shelter categories. She’ll discuss both successes and failures that drive engaged audiences that also deliver for advertisers. Laura is a media veteran of over 18 years including the launches of Afar, Dwell and 8020 Media.

A writer, blogger and media strategist, Jory created BlogHer 10 years ago with two partners. They took blogging seriously, and built an organization to give women writers greater opportunities to reach a wider audience, make money and form a community.

BlogHer sites drew more than 100 million unique visits a month when it was sold last fall to SheKnows, a content network that publishes articles aimed toward women, in a deal reportedly worth $30-40 million. Jory is now the senior vice president of global strategic alliances at SheKnows, and specializes in strategic media and brand partnerships.

As an author, Jory has written on a multitude of women’s issues, business, relationships, and pop culture for outlets such as Fast Company, The New York Times, Good Housekeeping and Inc. Magazine.

A well-decorated woman, Jory has been presented with a variety of honors, including the Fortune Most Powerful Women Entrepreneur Award 2013, Forbes Top 100 Websites for Women (2013, 2012, 2011, 2010), and Working Mother‘s Most Powerful Moms in Media.
