Games and puzzles create a huge daily engagement for a large section of our audience. In the United States alone, something like 50 million Americans engage with a crossword daily. We consistently see high return on what we're putting into puzzles and games.
Welcome back to another episode of the Send & Grow podcast. This week, SparkLoop cofounder Louis Nicholls sits down with Mary Tobler, the brains behind the fun puzzles and games you find in the Morning Brew newsletter.
Publishers and newsletter operators alike are waking up to the value of having a “games” strategy and — like with most things newsletters — Morning Brew have been leading the way.
In today's episode, we discuss:
- how games and puzzles fit into the newsletter format
- why publishers are starting to prioritise games and puzzles in their newsletters
- (why) should you add games to your newsletter? And how to get started
