class=\"\">The Telegraph maintains an impressive 16 million followers combined across all major platforms,<\/span><span class=\"\"> but converting these readers into subscribers is a persistent challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\"><span class=\"\">Elise Johnson,<\/span><span class=\"\"> Head of Social Media at The Telegraph,<\/span><span class=\"\"> explained their strategic view:<\/span><span class=\"\"> \u201cThat\u2019s where social media really steps in.<\/span><span class=\"\"> If we\u2019re always just asking audiences to click through to our website,<\/span><span class=\"\"> that doesn\u2019t actually ingratiate us to them&#8230;<\/span><span class=\"\"> Giving a lot to our audience and showing them respect in this way does eventually lead to subscription.<\/span><span class=\"\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\"><span class=\"\">For The Telegraph,<\/span><span class=\"\"> audience engagement is the critical factor that precedes a subscription.<\/span><span class=\"\"> &#8220;On every single platform,<\/span><span class=\"\"> one fact stands out:<\/span><span class=\"\"> when audiences are more engaged,<\/span><span class=\"\"> subscriptions go up,<\/span><span class=\"\">\u201d she noted.<\/span><span class=\"\"> They needed a tool to maximize engagement without requiring constant manual oversight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\ud83e\udde0 The game-changer: AI-driven timing and A\/B insights<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\"><span class=\"\">To engage social audiences and drive digital subscriptions,<\/span><span class=\"\"> The Telegraph adopted <\/span><a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/social\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Echobox<\/a><span class=\"\">,<\/span><span class=\"\"> relying on the AI to solve two key problems:<\/span><span class=\"\"> optimizing post timing and freeing up team bandwidth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\"><span class=\"\">Echobox&#8217;s unrivaled understanding of social platform algorithms calculates the optimal moment to post each article in real-time.<\/span><span class=\"\"> This was initially challenging for the team to accept,<\/span><span class=\"\"> but the results were convincing.<\/span><span class=\"\"> \u201cEchobox has really helped with our engagement.<\/span><span class=\"\"> Timing optimization takes a huge load out of the job,<\/span><span class=\"\"> as you don\u2019t need to fiddle about and keep track of what to post every half hour,<\/span><span class=\"\">\u201d Elise recalled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\"><span class=\"\">The team also uses built-in organic A\/B testing to refine their strategy.<\/span><span class=\"\"> \u201cWe use A\/B testing in Echobox when we want to demonstrate the power of a shorter headline,<\/span><span class=\"\"> or when we\u2019re trying to help a new reporter\/journalist understand what works better for our audience,<\/span><span class=\"\">\u201d Elise said.<\/span><span class=\"\"> This provides the feedback loop necessary to master <\/span>social media for digital subscriptions<span class=\"\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\"><span class=\"\">Furthermore,<\/span><span class=\"\"> Echobox automatically maintains certain social accounts with less bandwidth,<\/span><span class=\"\"> ensuring a consistent presence while giving the team &#8220;a lot more brain space to think innovatively,<\/span><span class=\"\"> which is helping us build engagement.<\/span><span class=\"\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\ud83e\udd73 The big win: Subscriptions surge alongside engagement<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\"><span class=\"\">The implementation
