Overview & Goals
NewsCorp’s S&C article pages serve ~200K+ weekly readers and contribute ~14% of subscriber web traffic. However, CTR on related content modules ranged between 0.003%–2%, indicating inconsistent engagement beyond the article.
The goals were to boost engagement after readers finish an article, increase clicks on related content, and build trust without adding more sponsored content or changing the article itself.
Challenges
The live article experience felt cluttered and directionless. 30% of users described the end-of-article section as “not useful,” and sponsored modules were often perceived as filler.
Business priorities emphasised actions like gifting, yet research showed 85% of users prioritised Share instead. Sticky actions were convenient but only noticed by 40% of users, limiting their impact.
