We're very excited to be celebrating two major milestones this week at Pugpig: our 10th birthday, and the launch of our latest and greatest mobile and web publishing platform. And we're letting you in on our birthday celebrations!

A weekly community publisher in the Southeastern part of the United States came into a huge digital revenue stream with AdCellerant before and during the Coronavirus pandemic. Before partnering with AdCellerant, this publisher leveraged a different digital fulfillment company and was having trouble accomplishing its revenue goals.

Social media is a great resource for marketing that should be automated as much as possible (using Buffer or a website plugin). In this case study, a community newspaper had 20,000 followers on Facebook, but no website. Launching its first site a few weeks ago was like building a town in 1850 with no connection to the transcontinental railroad. But by posting article links to the website on Facebook, the paper created an immediate channel from the audience it had been developing for years.
