The partnership will help Independent Media deliver more relevant reader engagement, build premium advertising audiences, and support affiliate and e-commerce growth.

Hightouch, the leading agentic marketing platform, today announces a partnership with Independent Media, publisher of The Independent. Independent Media will use Hightouch to connect its customer data to marketing tools.

With Hightouch, the company will send readers more relevant membership and subscription offers, build stronger audiences for its advertising partners, and grow its affiliate and e-commerce business. 

“Deepening customer relationships and delivering real value to our commercial partners requires moving seamlessly from insight to action,” said Krishan Gandhi, Director of Data Intelligence and Monetisation at Independent Media. “Partnering with Hightouch allows us to utilise our warehouse data directly into our engagement tools, powering real-time, omnichannel journey orchestration, while enabling us to build premium audience segments with far greater speed and agility.”

“Independent Media has a large, loyal readership and strong relationships with advertisers,” said Matthew Lubeck, General Manager, EMEA at Hightouch. “We’re pleased to help its teams use their data to reach both audiences more effectively.”
