Time Out Digital Reinvents Itself Using TripAdvisor As A Model

Time Out Digital is reinventing itself by adopting TripAdvisor's revenue model, adding booking capabilities and affiliate links to its content. The publisher now allows readers to book hotels and attractions directly from Time Out's site, under the guidance of Christine Petersen, appointed CEO in April; she is a former TripAdvisor executive who was its first CMO and later president. Petersen, alongside Time Out CEO Julio Bruno, believes the TripAdvisor approach—combining reviews with affiliate bookings—will monetize Time Out's audience, including a large mobile share. Current partners include Booking.com, Viator, Broadway.com and OpenTable, with plans to expand affiliate partnerships across markets. In the first half of the year, these changes boosted ecommerce revenue by 51%. Time Out has a presence in 108 cities across 39 countries, with some markets licensed and slated for buyback, and it plans to translate content into French and Spanish to broaden reach. The company is optimizing on-page content to balance ecommerce content with display ads and sponsorships.
