The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (F.A.Z.) wanted to automate its digital marketing processes. The aim was to increase the visibility of FAZ.NET in organic search engine results and market share. To do this, it was necessary to first classify the content of the F.A.Z. before any form of automation could take place. The Topic Management System (TMS) from Retresco provided a flexible addition to the technological infrastructure of the F.A.Z. to achieve the project objectives.

  • Implementation of the TMS as a flexible complement to the technological infrastructure of the F.A.Z.
  • Creation of an insights dashboard that provides context and trend analyses

The Result

Topic pages created by TMS are an important asset in our demand-oriented content-infrastructure. They provide readers the information they search for, based on their informational intent, making it for a more intuitive reading experience. This helped expand our digital reach and meet new audience needs.
