We had a fantastic time at Friday’s ACE - Association of Circulation Executives Subscription Seminar. The discussions, insights, and connections made throughout the day were truly inspiring.

The event opened with Amanda Wigginton, CMRS, who explored Subscription “Consumersion”, a powerful reminder that putting the customer first means actively listening and using those insights to drive smarter, more effective campaigns.

We then heard from Louise Ioannou and Madeleine White on “How to make it easy to leave, without making it easy to leave.” Something all publishers are currently working on ahead of the changes planned late 2026. Their guidance on upcoming cancellation changes was invaluable, particularly the point that making offboarding too difficult can prevent customers from returning in the future.

The panel sessions brought a wealth of perspectives: from building trust, to working with influencers effectively, to predictions on where subscriptions are heading next. Plenty of actionable ideas to take away.

Victoria Mead shared how The Times is approaching its paywall strategy, including the innovative “free to read” campaign featuring trusted journalists to broaden reach, a smart and engaging approach.

To close, before the final panel, Lisa MacLeod delivered thoughtful advice on maximising print profitability through operational efficiencies, while continuing to evolve digital offerings.

Overall, it was a highly engaging day, and a great opportunity to reconnect with industry colleagues and meet new faces.

We’re already looking forward to the next ACE event.
