Business Challenge

HT Digital faced the strategic challenge of managing its massive, real-time communication load without causing user fatigue. The team needed to:

Achieve Hyper-Personalization: Deliver high-volume news alerts based on specific, diverse user preferences to drive engagement and retention, rather than generic notifications.

Drive Monetization and Reactivation: Create effective cross-channel journeys to upsell paid products to registered users and successfully reactivate users who had become dormant.

Optimize Data Strategy and Costs: Leverage all available user behavioral data for granular targeting while mitigating the significant event ingestion costs associated with a high-traffic news platform.
MoEngage Solution

HT Digital utilizes MoEngage's omnichannel flows and deep segmentation capabilities to execute its winning strategy for real-time engagement and monetization.

Hyper-Personalized Push: HT Digital acts as a digital concierge, instantly guiding readers to their preferred categories—like finance or sports—using tailored creatives and landing pages.

Omnichannel Re-engagement: When readers go quiet, the strategy shifts seamlessly to Email and WhatsApp to reactivate dormant users and introduce registered readers to premium, paid products.

Behavioral Flows: By mapping specific user attributes and events, they orchestrate automated "journeys" that ensure every message feels like a natural next step based on recent activity.

Scalable Data Strategy: They balance performance with cost-efficiency by leveraging a 60-day behavioral window and moving toward Warehouse Segments to unlock full data potential without high ingestion costs.
